Grain harvesting in the Kaliningrad region completed almost 80%

In the Kaliningrad region collected 510 thousand tons of grain. Cleaning is 79% complete. Farmers also received 108,000 tons of winter rapeseed, despite prolonged rains in August. This was stated by the Minister of Agriculture of the region Artem Ivanov at the meeting of the Kaliningrad Grain Club near Guryevsk on October 16.

Of the total grain harvested, 397,000 tons are wheat. On average, 5.4 tons of grain were received from one hectare.

The rapeseed was cleaned in rainy weather. There were only five working days in August. Nevertheless, the average yield was 2.5 tons per hectare.

Soybean cleaning continues. Agrarians cultivated 11,000 hectares, which is almost half of all crops. On average, 2.4 tons of soybeans were harvested from each hectare.

The meeting also discussed the challenges faced by farmers. Due to the weather, equipment is idle, and the timing of agricultural work is shifted. In addition, the participants talked about state assistance to farmers and the state of systems that drain excess water from fields.

Separately discussed a new measure of support of the Ministry of agriculture of Russia. For each hectare sown with winter crops, agricultural producers will be able to receive three thousand rubles.

Earlier, we wrote that in the Nesterovsky district, a farmer “at his own risk” sowed 40 tons of wheat.
