| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 451 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 451 mm in the driest of 7 districts to about 638 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 451 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in North East, and the ground under them is not all the same. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.
Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in North East?
Wheat, Beetroot, Cabbage, Lettuce, Niger seed all rate well in North East — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Wheat in North East?
In North East the window for Wheat runs 1 Sep 2026 to 10 Dec 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in North East?
Divisi does. It reads North East's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.
Is this exact for my own field?
No — these are readings taken across North East, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
