With the Russian harvest under way reports are coming in from the southern Volga District of persistent heat, stressed wheat and summer crops and yield forecasts downgraded.
Let me know if you would like me to go and take a look and send you a brief report on my findings.
Its a 3,000km round trip so I would need some help with petrol money and a few nights accommodation.
Drop me a line and I'll send you a payment request for £100, then I'll hit the road to the Volga District, take pictures, some yield measurements, chat to a few locals and write up a brief report within a day of the trip.
It'll be cheaper and quicker than organising a visa, popping one of your guys on a plane, finding a translator, hiring a car and paying their expenses.
