Angus Dalgleish, Dalby grain grower, joins Michael regarding a mouse plague that began seven months ago that is leaving a trail of destruction that has cost tens of thousands of dollars in lost crops and property damage.

 

Mr Dalgleish, whose sorghum, corn and cotton crops are all under attack, says the numbers had grown so much he could see mice scurrying among his crops in the daylight.

 

As the mice population expands, it’s not just the crops the mice are getting into.

 

"It's everything," says Mr Dalgleish.

 

"Households right through to machinery sheds, every part of the farming game really."
