Victoria records a composite score of 54, reflecting mixed agricultural conditions across the state. The region's dominant commodities show varied performance, with dairy prices holding steady at $8.42/kg MS, wool remaining flat at $12.34/kg, while canola has declined 2.7% to $735/t amid softening grain markets. Water availability presents challenges with Hume Dam Storage critically low at 25.7% capacity, though soil moisture levels remain adequate at 16.7% and Dartmouth Dam holds reasonable reserves at 63.9%. Fire activity remains elevated with 1,017 hotspot detections over seven days, requiring continued vigilance as the state navigates neutral ENSO conditions and variable seasonal patterns.
