Kazakhstan: Grain is being harvested in Kostanay region

This year, weather conditions do not allow farmers to act according to plan. The sown areas under grain crops in Kostanay region is 4,000,000 hectares, and under oilseeds it is 640,000 hectares. As of the current date, about 600,000 hectares of grain crops have already been threshed (which is 15% of the total areas).

The harvesting campaign in this region began on August 10, but the weather made its adjustments. Until today, it has been constantly raining, which made it difficult to work in fields. According to the forecast, the weather should become good starting from August 27.

More than 9,000 harvesters are now involved in harvesting, and this is the total number of these machines available in Kostanay region.

According to the agrarians, the fields with bread in different parts of the region are different. This year, when the crop started to grow, there was intense heat and lack of rainfall, which affected the harvest negatively. There are even dead crops.

At the moment, all work is going on as usual, the harvesting campaign should be completed in September-October 2020.
