At the end of 2018, Russian farmers managed to collect a generous grain harvest.

About 70 million tons of wheat were harvested alone. As for barley, here indicators are encouraging - more than 16 million tons. In addition, farmers harvested about 11 million tons of corn. All this, according to representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, justifies the forecasts that were made at the beginning of the year. This was told by representatives of the department during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of the annual report.

“Any bookmaker would envy such accuracy,” admire the Ministry of Agriculture. - In total, our farmers are reaping the generous fruits of the earth in the form of 110 million tons of grain from all Russian fields! I would like to believe that next year the indicators will be at least not lower than the current ones. ”

We add that last year, representatives of the Russian agro-industrial complex collected an even larger crop from the fields: then the amount of grain crossed the mark of 135 million tons.
