Agrimoney.com | Extended autumn boosts health of Ukraine grains:

"A prolonged autumn supported the condition of Ukraine grain and rapeseed crops heading into the country's harsh winter, besides helping growers to catch up on sowings more significantly than initially thought.

Ukraine's winter grains "have emerged almost on all the planted area", UkrAgroConsult, the Kiev-based consultancy said, estimating that only 6,000 hectares of crop has yet to appear, down from 328,000 hectares a year ago.

The extent of crop's progress comes despite a rain-hampered start to the sowing season, which prompted the country's farm ministry to forecast in early October that some 1.5m hectares of area earmarked for winter grains would go unplanted, leaving sowings at 6.2m-6.3m hectares."
