Tridge summary

The article reports on the cereal sowing campaign in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, which is progressing well due to the lack of autumn rains. Despite a slightly later start this year, the winter cereal sowing is on track. However, the lack of rain since then has raised farmers' concerns about the campaign's development. To ensure a good emergence of cereals, farmers are doing tilling work on sown land. The province has 168,600 hectares of arable land in production, with over 144,200 hectares to be cultivated with winter cereals. The sowing surfaces are around the same as the previous campaign, with a slight decrease in legumes, especially peas, and a slight increase in broad beans. The agricultural organisation Asaja Córdoba has recommended that producers make their sowing plans in advance to comply with the requirements of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and to deal with the climatic instability.

Original content

The president of the agricultural organisation Asaja Córdoba, Fernando Adell, has reported that the cereal sowing campaign is developing in the province at a good pace due to the lack of autumn rains. Adell explained that the winter cereal sowing campaign is progressing normally despite the later start this year due to the rain that fell at the beginning of autumn. However, as there has been no more rain since then, “farmers are becoming uncertain about the development of the campaign as the sowing progresses”. Thus, as there has been no more rain so far this autumn, farmers who are in the middle of sowing are carrying out tilling work on the sown land to try to ensure a good emergence of the cereals.
