Victorian farmers say their prayers have been answered with heavy rain falling across most of the state.  The highest falls have been recorded in the Grampians, which received 60 millimetres overnight.  Horsham recorded 40 millimetres and there were 10 millimetres in Melbourne.

More rain is expected and the Victorian Farmers Federation's (VFF) Geoff Nalder says it is the perfect time for the state's grain growers.  "The quantities that have fallen, from my information, have been anywhere from 25 millimetres up to 60 or 70, which is, I would classify as the break in the season," he said.
