Farmers in Queensland say they've lost millions of dollars worth of crops in the second heavy rainfall event in as many weeks.
Hundreds of millimetres have fallen in the Wide Bay Burnett region, just two weeks after the area had the wettest October day on record.
Chilli and avocado grower David de Paoli said the most recent event had caused at least a million dollars in losses.
"It's getting to the point, it's ridiculous now, it won't be far off a metre of rain," he said.
"This is it, the last time we had that 350mm it was quick and fast and furious it caused structural damage and soil erosion but this one's costing us our crop.
"They're sitting in mud and a plant can only handle so many days in mud before it says too late, it's gotta die."
Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers chairman Allan Mahoney said the wet would impact supply, especially of summer produce.
"We're looking at a lot of fruit drop at the moment … a lot of erosion, damage to work already done, a lot of irrigation problems and a lot of crops under water," he said.
"A lot of spring crops and new plantings are in ready for summer, all the melon varieties, blueberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, some zucchinis, sweet potato, capsicums, there's a massive range of commodities in production.
"You'd assume there would be shortages from the Bundaberg region, it's [a matter of] just what other regions can cover our losses."
