3 April 2020 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

The onions have not yet been sown when the irrigation reel is already turning on the onion plots. Participants of the Gewastour 2020 have already taken the reel out of the shed, looking at the weather forecast. Last week there was also plenty of digging, digging and sowing.

The grower of the plot in Oeffelt (North Brabant) decided to irrigate his onion plot immediately because, according to him, the top layer was very dry. The grower of the plot in the Frisian Kimswerd also has the irrigation reel ready, but for a different reason. He wants to provide the necessary millimeters early next week to have the plot moist for harrowing. The grower then hopes to be able to realize a finer seedbed.

The onions were also sown in Zweeloo, Ysselsteyn and Kortgene last week.
