The grain harvesting campaign in the Vladimir region is 80% completed

Agricultural managers are satisfied with grain yields

80% of grain has been harvested from the fields, and 253.4 thousand tons of grain have been threshed. Harvesting corn for grain will begin soon. Suzdal, Yuryev-Polsky and Murom districts traditionally perform at the forefront.

This year has been fruitful; we are harvesting wheat, barley, and peas. All that remains is to remove the oats and buckwheat. The average yield is 6 tons of grain per hectare. This figure is better than last year, mainly due to weather conditions: there was enough moisture. Technologies allow us to achieve the Krasnodar level of productivity,” said Vladimir Bobachenko, chief agronomist of the Suzdal agricultural enterprise Tarbaevo.

A good potato harvest is expected. About a third of 3.7 thousand hectares has already been collected.

Work continues on the procurement of feed for public livestock farming. 26.5 thousand tons of hay, 603 thousand tons of haylage, 48 thousand tons of straw and 219 thousand tons of silage were harvested. This is significantly higher than last year’s level, so we are counting on a good supply of feed,” said the acting director. Minister of Agriculture of the region Sergei Lukyanov.
