As told by the agronomist LCOS Oscar Balodis, if in the next few days will see Sunny weather, harvest will be completed. He also said that in some regions of Latvia removed not more than 50% of the total area.

Cleaning wet fields increases the costs of farmers drying costs of 2.85 to 4.5 euros per ton, and at a humidity of 20-22% to about 25 euros per ton. Thus, if the yield is around 6 tons per hectare, the total damage reaches 150 euros per hectare. Also, the harvesters are increasing the cost of fuel.

Approval LCOS, is also problematic and sowing of winter crops in 2016. So, winter rape sown very little in Zemgale region (Latvia) only 59% of the plan, and in some areas sowing is generally not started. To rape wintered well, in Zemgale can be sown until August 25, and in Latgale (Eastern region) sowing later than 20 Aug risky, said the experts. According to the calculations LCOS, Latvia grain sown this year, 710 thousand hectares, including winter crops 372 thousand ha of spring crops - 335 thousand hectares. the Total area of oilseed rape is 115 thousand hectares.
