The Queensland town of Kingaroy is famous for its nuts its farmers planted some of Australia s first commercial crops in 1901.
Key points:
Peanut production in the area is dwindling because of unpredictable summer rainfall
Bega says its massive processing plant will stay in Kingaroy, despite fewer local nuts
But drought and a shifting rainfall pattern in the South Burnett region are changing things.
Second-generation peanut grower Peter Howlett said usually farmers would be in the middle of the harvest at this time of year.
