Historic early harvest started

June 26, 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

Historically early, on June 20, the first combines went to work in the south of the Netherlands. Perhaps a record. The harvest of preserves must also accelerate due to the dry weather.

Livestock farmers have been able to get rid of their second cut of grass due to the sunny weather. Now the question is, will the long-awaited rain come this week?
