Farmers from the Kherson region note that there has not been such a moisture situation as this year for 10 years. Since autumn, during sowing, there has been more than enough precipitation. And now there is enough moisture in the meter layer of soil. You can safely sow sunflower. However, Russian drones do not allow you to go out into the fields normally and farmers are taking a lot of risks.
