Corn harvesting is nearing completion in the Vitebsk region
Verkhnedvinsk, Glubokoye, Dubrovno, Postavy, Rossony, Ushachi, Chashniki, Sharkovshchina, and Shumilino districts have fully completed the task.
According to the regional agricultural sales department, as of yesterday, 97.1% of the planned areas have been harvested, with a green mass yield of 270.3 centners per hectare (compared to 201.5 centners per hectare in 2017). 4.1 thousand hectares have been threshed for grain (this figure was not included in last year's report), yielding a gross harvest of 33.7 thousand tons with a yield of 81.4 centners per hectare. The largest amount of grain, which will be a good support for forming the fodder base, was procured by Orsha (10.1 thousand tons) and Senno (6 thousand tons) districts.
In general, Vitebsk region farms have procured 24.50 centners of feed units per conventional head of cattle for the stall period. On the same date in 2017, this figure was 20.66 centners of feed units.
