Corn was sowed on 9,100 ha, soybeans – on 6,000 ha and potatoes – on 2,000 ha. Over 1,300 ha were sowed with mustard, buckwheat, beans, sorghum and peas. Silage corn and medick was sowed on 648 ha and 122 ha.
This year the agroholding used no-till, mini-till and broadcasting ways of sowing.
Operating Director Viktor Kukharchuk said that the key factor influencing the sowing campaign this year was weather. First sunflower seeds were sowed and then corn and soybeans.
