Winds and floods spoil third of Mahileu Region fields

About 35% of crops were damaged by floods last week-end in the region, reports Mahileu Region Executive Committee. That is why the harvest will start a week earlier than usual. 8 out of the 21 districts of the region have already started gathering crops and leguminous plants. All districts have started gathering winter rape.

“We were ready for such a situation, - says the deputy head of the Regional Agricultural Nutrition Department Vasil Sysoyeu. – Practically all our machines are ready for the harvest and we are only waiting for good weather”.
