This is 90%
of the planned areas without Crimea giving a yield of 3.54mt/ha.
At the
same point last year they had harvested 29.4mmt from 9.5mha with a yield of
3.11mt/ha.
This year’s
harvest was slow to get started but seems to have caught up and past last year
both in terms of timeliness and yield.
Scores on
the doors are winter wheat 3.89mt/ha; winter barley 3.02mt/ha; rye (or as I call
it, why?) 2.49mt/ha; oats 2.42mt/ha; peas 2.39mt/ha; winter oilseed rape 2.43mt/ha.
Not quite
sure how these latest numbers tally with the last report, seems there are some anomalies, lets wait and see how the next announcement fits.
