Sowing rates of durum wheat in France are extremely low
Excess moisture is hampering field work in France.
According to the state agency FranceAgriMer, by November 6, French farmers were able to sow winter soft wheat only 67% of the area (91% on the same date last year and 83% on average over the past five years). Winter barley has been sown on 81% of the area (96% and 91%). But the most severe lag is in durum wheat. By November 6, it has been sown on only 15% of the plan (46% and 34%). Delayed sowing can lead to a significant reduction in yields.
Corn has been harvested on 95% of the acreage. Last year corn harvesting was completed by early November.
