Farmers of the Krasnoyarsk Territory have started sowing barley, annual and perennial grasses, and oats. The sowing campaign started in Novoselovsky, Shushensky, Uzhursky and Idrinsky districts.
Currently, 0.89 thousand hectares have been sown. This is 0.07% of the plan for the sowing campaign. For the same period in 2020, 33.3 thousand hectares were sown. Writes about this IA KrasnoyarskMedia.
Deputy Chairman of the Regional Government – Minister of Agriculture and Trade Leonid Shorokhov noted the strong influence of unpredictable weather on the course of the sowing campaign. In 2020, it was possible to start sowing ahead of schedule due to the abnormally warm weather after a winter with little snow. In 2021, the mass start of the sowing campaign throughout the Krasnoyarsk Territory is scheduled for the first ten days of May. The sowing area will amount to 1.485 million hectares, which is 0.6% more than last year. 931.5 thousand hectares were allocated for cereals and legumes. Also, the fields will be sown with oilseeds, potatoes, vegetables and forage crops.
The farmers received almost 390 million rubles per hectare of support from the budgets of different levels. The funds will be used to purchase material and technical resources.
