Ellinghuysen & ABC Australia Supplies of genetically modified canola seed have been stretched across New South Wales and Victoria, following last weekend's rainfall. As a result, there's a delay in the delivery of seed to producers who want to plant GM crops this season. Mick Townsend, a central New South Wales producer, says he has been told to wait until early next week for supplies to arrive. "The interest from growers has been overwhelming and consequently demand has outstripped supply and there is a bit of hold-up for seed," he said. "It could be as much as three or four days before we will get ours, say Monday or Tuesday. "There are a few growers around not far from here that are planting or intend to plant as soon as seed becomes available. "There has been a lot of interest from local farmers around here."
