Grain harvest has never started so smoothly before

20 July 2018 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

So far, the combines have been able to do their job without too many problems. Winter barley, rapeseed and grass seed were harvested smoothly this summer. Winter wheat is also leaving the country at a rapid pace. As a result, the harvest in many places will probably be completed by August 1.
