The loss of grain harvest in the Russian Federation can be up to 15% of the possible harvest (taking into account refraction). This forecast was announced on August 8 by the President of the Russian Grain Union Arkady Zlochevsky.

The year is rainy, that Grains from the fields is moist and the reaction will be not less than 10%. But maybe 12-13%. This is a significant decrease in final values. In addition, the delay in harvest means that optimal weather windows are missed, causing the grain to sprout. This leads to huge losses. In addition, the grain lies down.
