Despite my know all predictions of a not so
good Ukrainian harvest because of blah blah blah (see previous posts), today’s figures
let me down as yields stubbornly continue to climb.
With 5.93mha or 60% cut overall average
yield is now up at 3.22mt/ha.
That’s wheat at 3.49mt/ha; barley at
2.80mt/ha; rye at 2.34mt/ha; oats 1.73mt/ha; peas 2.26mt/ha; oilseed rape
2.28mt/ha.
But we have all experienced that sinking
feeling of disappointment as the last field comes in and knocks the feet out from
under what was a promising year.
A lot can still happen between now and the finish tape.
