The UK wheat, barley, and rapeseed harvest ended with high yields

As of September 13, the harvest of wheat, barley and rapeseed in Great Britain has been completely completed, announced the British Council for Agriculture and Horticulture, quoted by the electronic publication APK-Inform. Estimates by council experts put average yields from autumn-sown wheat at between 8.4 and 8.6 tonnes per hectare, exceeding the 5-year average of 7.9 tonnes per hectare. Bread wheat yields are between 6.5 and 11.5 tons per hectare, while feed wheat yields are between 7 and 14 tons per hectare. The fairly fast pace of harvest also ensured a relatively good hectoliter grain weight of 76-82, but the protein content was lower than expected – 12.3-12.7%. The moisture level is estimated at 13.5-14.5%. For spring-sown wheat in the UK, average yields range from 4 to 8.5 tonnes per hectare and protein content is 12-13.5%. Yields from ...
