The lack of moisture in the soil and in the air caused the death of a huge number of crops. According to the regional Ministry of Agriculture, the most affected by the drought are Kupinsky, Bagansky, Karasuksky, Suzunsky, Kochkovsky and Chanovsky districts. An emergency mode has already been introduced in these territories. If in the near future it will not rain, the regime will be introduced in six more districts.
Meanwhile, last week, the Minister of Agriculture of the Novosibirsk Region, Yevgeny Leshchenko, personally came to see the dehydrated territories in order to understand the current state of the agricultural sector. Together with the heads of municipal districts, he assessed the condition of planted crops.
“The death of crops of perennial grasses and spring crops sown in the first half of May occurs in the territories of Chistoozerny, Kupinsky, Bagansky, Karasuksky and Suzunsky districts, as well as in a number of municipalities in other regions. The result is a difficult situation with the harvesting of feed for the winter-stall period, ”said Evgeny Leshchenko.
According to the minister, commissions and working groups will be formed in each of the affected areas. After assessing the damage, the Ministry and the Legislative Assembly of the Novosibirsk Region will prepare proposals to support the affected agricultural organizations.
