The rains have been detrimental to the threshers, but for autumn cereals and silage grasses, the moisture has been beneficial
Drought has taken its toll on silage yields. According to ProAgria, silage yields will remain scarce, especially in Häme.
Harvesting is in the final stages, although the rains have hampered harvesting in September, when the rain-soaked fields have not been able to support heavy machinery.
For autumn cereals and silage grasses, the rains have been welcome after the soil was soaked in the rut. Frost has also caused damage to crops in some places in Häme.
In spring crops, yield levels and quality are described as good. In Häme, oats with a weak hettoweight are still harvested.
