Welcome rain on Crop tour plots

After a few dry and warm days, the necessary precipitation fell in the Netherlands on Wednesday 24 April. However, on which plot of the Boerenbusiness Crop tour received the most precipitation?

After a few hot and dry days at the beginning of the week, the precipitation from Wednesday 24 April is more than welcome. The rain ensures, among other things, a good build-up of the ridges and prevents crust formation. In addition, the precipitation helps to prevent duality with the onions and the dry onion seed gets the desired precipitation.

Most rain in Noordoostpolder
The onion plot in Tollebeek (Noordoostpolder) received the most precipitation on Wednesday 24 April, because 13,7 millimeters of precipitation fell here. On Thursday 25 April, 1 millimeter of rain fell here as well. 

The potato plot in Spijk (Groningen) received the least amount of precipitation on Wednesday 24 April. The counter was stuck at 0,3 millimeters. However, some precipitation has already fallen on Thursday 25 April, as a result of which 24 millimeters of precipitation finally fell in the past 4,8 hours.
