Arable farmers can no longer be kept on the land

Arable farmers can no longer be kept on the land. The good weather forecast and possible shortages on the market mean that onions are already being planted and sown in many places. Potatoes are also being planted and carrots and beets have already been sown here and there.

While planting the early potatoes in Tholen is already started earlier early potatoes are now also being planted elsewhere in the country. For example, the first potatoes were recently planted at the Koninklijke Maatschap de Wilhelminapolder.

Although some potatoes are already being planted, onions are mainly being planted for the time being. It goes without saying that this is (very) early and the temperatures are currently exceptionally high .

Onions are already being sown in North Holland.

In addition, early carrots are already sown by various arable farmers.

Sowing activities start early not only in the Netherlands, because onions have already been sown in England.
