“This year we are ahead of schedule across the entire autumn field work. We plan to sow winter grain crops by the end of the month. As for corn, the corn for silage harvest rate is higher than last year. The harvest is much higher than we had in 2022. We also started harvesting corn for grain earlier than last year,” Sergei Bartosh said.
