Agrarians of the Rostov region harvested more than 13 million tons of grain

Don agrarians, despite unstable weather conditions, continue harvesting early grain and leguminous crops. To date, the farms of the Rostov region have already harvested more than 3.1 million hectares, that is, more than 90% of the total area.
“Today, the grain harvest has already exceeded 13 million tons with an average yield of 41.4 centners per hectare, and this is significantly higher than last year,” said Viktor Goncharov, First Deputy Don Governor, today. - In a number of districts, mainly in the south and east of the region, the suffering is at its final stage. Seven districts are very close to the finish line, having already harvested from 98-99% of the area. Now field work is hindered in some places by periodic rainfall, so the Don farmers, taking advantage of every fine minute, make every effort to harvest in a timely manner. At the same time, rains contribute to the formation of late agricultural crops.”
According to the Don Ministry of Agriculture and Food, more than 12 million tons of winter wheat, 182 thousand tons of winter and 582 thousand tons of spring barley, as well as more than 248 thousand tons of leguminous crops have already been harvested.
