ANZAC Day might be the traditional landmark date when grain growers hope to get the autumn break to begin sowing their crops.
But for Corowa's Taylor family, it is not the autumn break which determines when they start sowing but "logistics".
"We sow off a date, not a rain event," said Ingrid Taylor.
"If we held off, we wouldn't get sowing done in time."
Ms Taylor runs a farming operation at Corowa in Victoria and Tullibigeal and West Wyalong in NSW with her brothers George and Charles and parents Ken and Joy.
This year they will plant 5000ha of wheat, barley and lupins across the three farms.
Ms Taylor said the varieties planted were based on sowing windows.
They began sowing at Corowa on April 9 - the same time as last year - and will plant some crops before heading to the NSW farms.
She said they often dry sowed each year and were not worried that rain might not come until May.
Ms Taylor said recent rain meant they were sowing into moisture this year.
