Calling all farmers. Can you help me with the economics of rain?

We're talking about rain & what it means on the Conversation Hour today and I am looking for examples of why rain is so important.

But it's a reality she's had to face; one she's worried too many local women are staring down. @charmayne_a https://t.co/XD1OdcnGe5

@rwillingham Against Freo though. Should be the usual 18,000

@allstarmile Aegon. It would be amazing to see him go 6-0 with an ASM win.
