Status of the crops here in early June is that about half of oilseed rape fields in Videle, i.e. about 200 HA is pretty much influenced by the heavy rainfall in March, which will give reductions in yields here. Similarly, we can now seethat the wheat in Videle is somewhat thinner than in the other two farms, but still a nice clean and disease-free crop.
For other crops, the overall picture are very positive, which applies to both winter crops and spring crops. As shown on pictures below, winter crops seems pretty good at this advanced stage – since we are approaching the harveststart – like the overall picture for the spring-sown crops is, that the germination and growth is satisfactory.
We are beginning to run short of water – especially for spring crops – but there have until now not been visibledrought damages
