The article provides an update on the agricultural activities in corn fields spanning 27,207 hectares, with over 3 hectares dedicated to crop storage and an average grain crop yield of 7.4 tons per hectare from 4,570 hectares. Due to rainy weather, farmers are experiencing delays in sowing autumn corn and are making progress with sowing other crops such as barley, rye, and triticale, despite challenges like the reduced sowing area for rapeseed due to a warmer, drier climate and the unavailability of certain insecticides. The progress of winter wheat, barley, rye, and triticale sowing is also affected by the rainy weather. However, the farmers are hopeful that the rain will be stored in the deeper soil layers to aid in next year's farming.
