In Bashkiria, the autumn sowing campaign is gradually gaining momentum. Despite the lack of moisture, farms in 46 districts of the republic started sowing winter crops. For the time being, experts recommend sowing in clean fallows, where moisture remains longer.

As of August 27, 83.7 thousand hectares were sown, or 14% of the planned area (600 thousand hectares). Most of the areas under winter crops have been sown by Davlekanovo farmers - 9.8 thousand hectares, and Duvans - 6.3 thousand hectares.

According to agro-technological requirements, the sowing of winter crops must be completed by September 20.

As the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus - Minister of Agriculture Ilshat Fazrakhmanov noted earlier, about 2 thousand sowing units, including 816 sowing complexes, will take part in the sowing of winter crops. With their rational use, it is possible to complete the work in 9-10 calendar days, depending on weather conditions.
