Cereal growers: due to the weekend rain one can already sow in Transdanubia

It is already possible to sow in Transdanubia due to the weekend rainfall, but the lack of rainfall in the Great Plain hinders spring field work – the Chairman of the National Association of Cereal Producers told MTI on Monday.

Petőházi Tamás pointed out that a national average of 100-150 millimeters of precipitation was missing from the soil, which would require one week of soaking rain.

He said that in some regions, due to the drought, autumn rape must be plowed, which is estimated to reach tens of thousands of hectares nationwide. (MTI)
