Traditionally, harvesting for the company has begun in the South of Cherkasy region. So, the fleet of John Deere combines has been working in the fields since July the 10th near Mykhaylivka village in Drabiv district. They are hurrying up to gather wheat so that the grain will not fall off.
“By July the 10th 152 hectares of crops had been harvested. We harvest 100 hectares a day on average. This year wheat is of high second grade quality (food grade, 12,5%+ protein) of domestic breeding. The yields of wheat are good – around 55 centers per hectare. We still have to collect 1,300 hectares of winter wheat. If the weather conditions are favorable, we will be able to cope with the task within 10-11 days”, – says deputy regional agronomist of Cherkasy region Olexandr Zhyla. Trucks are transporting the harvested grain straight to the Pyryatyn elevator.
