May 15, 2019 During the survey, it was revealed that most of the country's agrarians cannot finish the sowing of late spring crops in the optimal time.

Most of the agricultural producers said that the weather vagaries of May of this year influenced the work in the field, significantly slowing them down.

So, in a number of areas, technology is not able to enter the fields due to precipitation. The greatest number of complaints about the weather came from the farmers of the Poltava, Rivne and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

Some respondents noted that “siltation” of soil was found on their lands, which may adversely affect the state of crops. Farmers who started sowing late spring crops this year in April announced the completion of field work this week.

According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, as of May 15 this year, Ukraine planted 3.32 million hectares with corn (71.1% of the forecast), 4.22 million hectares of sunflower (73.8% of the forecast), and 676 thousand hectares of soybeans ( 37.1% of the forecast).

Earlier it was reported that rains and cold weather in the Khmelnitsky region hinder the mass planting of potatoes on household plots of the population.
