Agro-Region Completes Winter Crop Harvest

The Agro-Region Group has completed the harvest of winter crops, achieving yields that exceeded planned targets and the average yields of the past five years.

In total, more than 12,500 hectares were threshed. The group’s average yield for winter wheat reached 6.3 t/ha, while winter rapeseed averaged 3.23 t/ha.

Moreover, three clusters achieved an average winter wheat yield of over 7.5 t/ha.

“The end of the growing season for winter wheat and the grain-filling period were favorable, which resulted in yields of 9–9.5 t/ha in a significant number of fields,” noted Chief Agronomist Yuriy Lysak.

The highest winter rapeseed yield was recorded in the Western cluster — 3.71 t/ha.

“Rapeseed crops were damaged by frost and needed time to recover. Overall, this year, in contrast to the previous one, was cooler, which also meant we started threshing later,” added Chief Agronomist Yuriy Lysak.

This year, due to weather adjustments, the harvest across the group started two weeks later. All company clusters make maximum use of their own machinery, which has been renewed in recent years.

Despite abnormal spring weather conditions and additional risk factors faced by farmers throughout the season, the team worked in sync and completed the early crop harvesting campaign on time.

The Agro-Region team also expresses its gratitude to the Defense Forces for making it possible to work and grow grain.
