Optimism springs for disaster plagued Aussie farmers
Sheep graze in patches of green surrounded by red earth as recent rains boost optimism for Australian farmers hoping the devastating drought might be easing in time for the winter crop.
"This last fall of rain here that we've had two or three days ago -- an inch -- it's just ideal and just gives everyone that confidence that they can go ahead and sow the crops and know that they'll get a good start," says Kevin Tongue, a farmer.
