Victoria was all set for another fantastic cropping season, until mother nature delivered a series of cruel blows and there is more to come this weekend.

| This canola crop in Banyena, Victoria has been ruined by a massive hail storm. |
Parts of Victoria could see a summer's worth of rainfall in the next three days.
It all started in early November when an incredible late-season frost blasted most of western Victoria.
Temperatures dipped below zero, freezing lentils and chickpeas across most of western Victoria and wheat near Ararat.
The Victorian Government is estimating the freeze caused $180 million.
