Latest Black Sea crop prospects

Here are two reports from different sources on Ukraine weather conditions and crop prospects for the same week;
  • Showers maintained good to excellent summer crop prospects in Russia and eased drought in north-central Ukraine.
  • The weather conditions dominating Ukraine…were not very favourable for harvesting early cereals and growth and development of late crops.
Kind of a glass half full or half empty thing which for me only confuses the picture.

Heads-up then that we will be touring Ukraine and Russia later this month and during August, checking in on how the wheat and barley harvest is progressing, looking at the condition of corn, sunflower and soya and updating our yield forecasts.

Subscribe for results from the latest tour to find out if the glass is half full or half empty and if it's filled with homemade vodka or champanski.
