“Excessive moisture negatively affected the quality of part of the wheat crop; however, thanks to the coordinated efforts of our production teams, we were able to organize the process in such a way as to make the most efficient use of every weather window for harvesting the grain,” the press service quoted Vitaliy Nekhay, head of the crop production division, as saying.
The company reported that 12 Claas Lexion 480 and 560 combine harvesters were used during the harvest, along with up to 30 trucks to transport the crop.
