Sikh farmers in NSW rejoice after 'amazing' rain, but long-term concerns remain

Aman Lehl’s property in Corindi Beach, half an hour’s drive from Coffs Harbour, was completely dry just a fortnight ago.The rain gauge at his berry farm has recorded 455 millimetres over the past week, boosting two empty dams to levels not seen since 2017.

The area has long been known for its banana plantations and the iconic 'Big Banana' tourist attraction. “For some farmers who have been impacted, it’ll take one year to catch up - macadamia trees might take between two to five years to catch up,” he told SBS News.New South Wales Nationals MP Gurmesh Singh, who represents Coffs Harbour.Mr Lehl said various NSW north coast farmers are looking to work together to drought-proof future seasons by improving water security measures.

So the implications are that moslem , catholic, trekies etc are doing fine and dandy

Always gotta play the racial card don't you SBS!

How about white farmers?

Why you have to mention 'sikh'? Weather conditions affect all farmers alike

Why sikh farmers? Just aussie farmers is apt!

Ofcourse it has to be something negative

It’s a big country; you can’t have such a large continent enjoying universally favourable conditions at the same time.
