Threatening clouds over the plot in the Johannes Kerkhovenpolder (photo: 31-07-2018).

The question is whether irrigation in the Johannes Kerkhovenpolder is still of any use (photo: 01-08-2018).

In Spijk, the crop is still relatively fresh (photo: 02-08-2018).

Photo report Crop tour week 32

Potatoes scarred by drought and heat

10 August 2018 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

In this photo report we look at the state of the crops of the Boerenbusiness Crop tour in week 31. Most plots are relatively green (compared to the average situation in the Netherlands), although clearly marked plots can also be seen.

Almost all plots that participate in the Crop Tour are on clay soil. This clearly creates a different picture than what can be seen nationally on the lighter soils.
