ABC Rural reports that locust outbreaks have hit parts of South Australia, with PIRSA aerially spraying 115,000 hectares around the Flinders and Mid North after surveying since early September. Producers including Peterborough's Bridget Woods and Flinders Ranges pastoralist Peter Zadow say locust numbers are worse than in previous years and that the window for effective control has passed, while locust commissioner Michael McManus says spraying targets must be large and recommends controlling locusts in the morning or evening.
