Based on the information shared by the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, as of today, domestic farmers have managed to thresh about four million seven hundred thousand hectares of agricultural land with grain.
For clarity, it will not be out of place to note that last year, by the same date, five hundred thousand hectares of fields with less grain and legumes were threshed.
It is noteworthy that from the beginning of the season Russian farmers threshed about nineteen million three hundred thousand tons of grain. But a year earlier, this figure did not exceed sixteen million tons.
And today, the average production rate of forty and a half centners per hectare is clearly evidence of the yield results (a year earlier the indicator was thirty seven and a half centners per hectare).
It should be emphasized that the volume of wheat threshed to date is at least sixteen million one hundred thousand tons from four million hectares.
If we talk about the results of threshing barley, then here we can talk about two million eight thousand tons from six hundred ninety-three thousand hectares (an average of forty thousand three hundred centners per ha).
Harvesting of winter rape is also in the active phase - more than thirty seven and a half thousand hectares are threshed.
