The progress on the plot in Biddinghuizen is clearly visible with the recently made drone images. Every 2 weeks a drone is flown over the plot, in order to visualize the growth of the crop.
The maximum temperatures measured in the past 10 days did not fall below 25 degrees Celsius. There were even visible peaks of 32,6 and 31,4 degrees Celsius. The plot has been irrigated 4 times so far. In addition, it appeared from previous trial harvesting that a yield of 44,7 tons per hectare has been harvested. That is 0,5 tons above the average (44,2 tons) of all parcels participating in the Boerenbusiness Crop tour.

Unfortunately DCA does not get much further than Lelystad and the surrounding area and we have to make do with that.
