The 2023 harvest is underway in Chernihiv region. According to the Department of Agricultural Development of the Chernihiv Regional State Administration, as of September 7, the region's farmers harvested 2.6 thousand tons of buckwheat (16% of the forecast) and 1.8 thousand tons of millet (14% of the forecast).

Buckwheat and millet are cereal crops grown in Chernihiv region for food and feed purposes. Buckwheat has a high nutritional value, being rich in proteins, carbohydrates, trace elements and vitamins. Millet is high in starch, proteins, fatty acids and phosphorus. Both crops are resistant to drought and disease.

Cereals are harvested using combines with special reapers. To maintain seed quality, it is necessary to maintain optimal humidity during harvesting. For buckwheat, the moisture content should not exceed 16%, for millet - 14%. It is also necessary to control the purity of the seeds from debris, dust and weeds.

Alongside the harvest, Chernihiv region farmers are sowing winter crops for the 2024 harvest. As of today, 30.8 thousand hectares of winter grains have been sown (16.6% of the forecast) and 41.3 thousand hectares of winter rapeseed (84.3% of the forecast).

Winter crops include wheat, barley and rye, which are grown for the bakery and feed industry. Winter rapeseed is an oilseed crop used for the production of vegetable oil and biodiesel. Winter crops have advantages over spring crops, as they make better use of the autumn-winter period to develop the root system and accumulate nutrients.

Winter crops are sown using seed drills that ensure accurate and uniform seed placement to the required depth. High-quality seeds are used for sowing winter crops, which have high germination, germination energy, resistance to diseases and stressful conditions.
