In the Krasnodar Territory began to plant potatoes. 6 hectares have been allocated for planting crops this year. The head of Timashevsk, Nikolai Panin, personally dug up beds for planting with a walk-behind tractor this weekend. He says that this is the main spring tradition for him and his father.
We are planting potatoes a little earlier this year. Plow the land, then add fertilizer. We do everything ourselves, because our family loves homemade potatoes. You can make a bunch of dishes out of it - boil mashed potatoes, fry, and cook in a cauldron, ”Panin told KP-Kuban.
Planting potatoes by Kuban agricultural producers will begin in the first decade of April. For this, 6 hectares have been allocated in different regions of the Krasnodar Territory, the press service of the regional Ministry of Agriculture reported.
Also in the Kuban have already begun to sow sugar beets. About 2022 hectares will be allocated for it in 200. Local farmers are fully provided with seeds and material and technical resources.
This year, the area under crops for rice, peas, soybeans and barley has been increased in the region. These crops were planted in February windows, when the weather was favorable. True, later the sowing campaign had to be curtailed for a short time due to a sharp cold snap. March was the coldest in 38 years.
