The situation on the field operations :
In Oravita have winter weather almost exclusively consisted of some black frost down to -7
degrees C, with some very strong winds – almost hurricane – in January / February . This of course has made its impact on winter cereals, and the winds was especially hard on rape seed leaves, but it is still estimated that all winter cereals survive, and at this time the plants seems to recover well.The dry weather has meant that we have been able start field work in Oravita , so all winter cereals have yet been fertilized , and we have been working on cultivation of cover crops . So the season started well up here, concerning spring work.In Videle it was still more wet than expected in February. The melt water does not really disappear from the surface and there has been little rainfall in between, so we’ve been out to try to spread fertilizer, but we were ” stumbling around ” in the fields and get stuck with the tractor.
In Mizil we have only recently been able to come around and inspect the winter crops. Here we have had so much snow, that the yard and the road past the farm was closed and the road then only passable in one track in two weeks. But now everything is so open again, but all ditches and canals is of course filled with water and it is totally impossible to move on the fields.
In both Videle and Mizil tells field inspections , that there is no dead crops after winter, and that almost everything seems to thrive very nicely here after winter.We are aware, of course , we will soon face a labor challenge as spring comes ” at once” at these two sites, so all work operations to be performed simultaneously, but the only thing we can do right now is to keep the crew , machines and raw materials ” on alert ” and that’s the situation.
Kind regards
