Dry conditions ☀️ allow sowing👨‍🌾 campaign to catch up. According to the November edition of the JRC MARS Bulletin - crop monitoring in Europe🇪🇺, favourable temperatures 🌡️ and soil moisture conditions helped farmers to accelerate sowing. More info: joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and...
JRC MARS Bulletin - Crop monitoring in Europe in November 2024
average to above-average temperatures and drier-than-usual conditions helped farmers to accelerate sowing, and were favourable for the initial development of recently sown crops.
