Short-term rains in the Kharkiv region did not significantly interfere with the harvest, and the grain moisture content is at a basic level. We took care of the necessary resources and equipment in advance, so we have everything we need,” said Oleksandr Ovsyanyk, Director of the holding’s Agricultural Department.
According to the report, rapeseed threshing is already underway in Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions. Soon, the harvesting of this crop will begin in Sumy region. In total, it will last about three weeks.

Agrotrade has completed the spring sowing of spring crops, for which it has allocated more than 30 thousand hectares, the company’s press service posted on Facebook on Wednesday.
According to the report, favorable weather in early spring allowed Agrotrade to start sowing in March, although it had previously started in April. However, due to precipitation, field work had to be suspended for some time, and when it resumed, more machinery had to be used than planned.
“This year, we focused on using our own equipment in the problem areas near the sites of shelling and active hostilities. This allowed us to work efficiently despite limited working hours and problems with satellite navigation. The delay caused by weather conditions did not have a significant impact and did not cause any economic losses, as we had foreseen the possibility of using additional equipment in advance. As a result, we completed the spring sowing campaign even ahead of schedule,” said Oleksandr Ovsyanyk, Director of the Agricultural Department.
According to him, Agrotrade has planted 12.52 thou hectares of sunflower, 8.27 thou hectares of soybeans, 6.4 thou hectares of corn, 3.75 thou hectares of spring wheat, and 230 thou hectares of industrial hemp for the 2014 harvest. Buckwheat and peanuts were also sown for the first time.
