Can you imagine, all I feel right now is the hand of Providence, after the long drought and looming of day zero in water supply, a bumper harvest of winter grain, barley and canola is on the way. Isn’t this the stuff of Fairy Tales, Balm of Gilead?

The Western Cape is expecting one of the biggest winter grain, barley and canola harvests in recent history, “shattering previous records”, agriculture MEC Ivan Meyer said on Wednesday.

The bumper harvest would assist the economic recovery of agriculture in the province after many years of drought, he said.

Meyer unveiled the forecast after visiting Agri Dwala, a grain enterprise which is 100% owned and operated by farmworkers turned farmers, in Napier in the Overberg.
