The article highlights a significant decrease in the first harvest of corn for grain, with a yield of 363 kg/decare, a 33.4% drop compared to the previous year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. This decline is attributed to last year's July-August drought and the impact of the meadow butterfly. The yields for all observed crops have seen a annual decline, with notable reductions in oilseed rape (down 19.9%), wheat (11.8%), barley (6.9%), triticale (16.4%), and rye (7%).
