In Zala County, agricultural activities are in progress with nearly half of the spring barley, wheat, and oats already sown. The county aims to plant 1940 hectares of spring barley and 840 hectares of spring wheat, in addition to other crops like soybeans, alfalfa, millet, buckthorn, oil pumpkin, sugar beet, potatoes, oats, and peas. The sowing of corn and sunflower is planned for the beginning of April, but the lack of rainfall might force farmers to switch to late spring crops such as soybeans or sunflowers. The adverse effects of drought are noticeable on autumn cereals and oilseed rape, and spring top-dressings have shown positive effects on crop growth despite the cold weather and pest issues.
