Farmers are finishing sowing winter grains. Thus, the work has already been completed in the Brest, Grodno and Minsk regions. The Vitebsk and Gomel regions are catching up.
If you sow winter crops earlier, they will outgrow, but later, they will go into winter unformed. Therefore, everything must be done to ensure that the negative impact of nature on the harvest is minimal.
According to Sergei Primachenko, deputy chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Food of the Minsk Regional Executive Committee, this year has been difficult for rural workers:
“Given that the drought did not allow stockpiling the required amount of haylage, sowing had to be combined with a busy period of corn silage harvesting. The sowing of winter crops in the region was completed within the optimal agrotechnical time frame.
The structure of the winter grain wedge has also changed this year, in which there is more barley and wheat.
“The most important thing is that there was no machine downtime, fuel was supplied on time, service organizations and equipment repair units worked well. If necessary, decisions were made promptly, so that all resources were fully utilized,” noted Sergei Primachenko.
Among the most important tasks facing farmers now, the head of the plant growing industry of the Minsk region named harvesting feed, harvesting corn and sugar beets.
In the Vitebsk region, sowing of winter grains is approaching 90%. The work was completed on more than 199 thousand hectares. For example, the farmers of the Tolochinsky district completely coped with the task. Now the harvesting of root crops continues here. Thus, sugar beets are grown in the Tolochin region and in the neighboring Dubrovensky region. The total area occupied by it is 680 hectares, and sugar beets have already been harvested from 154 hectares. The crop yield is 327 c/ha.
