Heat good for grain harvest
The grain is in any case of good quality this year. The drought of the past few weeks was not all bad after all.
“Because we have a good and dry summer, it is always good for the ripening of the grain. Because you then have a high hectolitre weight, which means that the grain content is good. Due to a bad summer last year, with regular rain, there was there is less hectolitre weight, so in the ripening period you have to have good weather to have good quality,” it sounds.
Also price drop?
It remains to be seen whether a good grain harvest will immediately bring down the price of our bread. The price has already fallen somewhat, but that is mainly due to speculation about new grain exports from Ukraine.
By Wednesday, a large part of the West Flemish grain harvest will already have been harvested.
