Ukraine Winter Grain May Worsen Amid Frost, UkrAgroConsult Says - Bloomberg
The condition of winter grain in Ukraine “may be a bit worse than official estimates” as cold weather increases the risk of crop losses, UkrAgroConsult said.

Some fields in the Sumy, Zaporyzhzhya, Vinnytsya, Kherson and Mykolayiv regions may show winter grain losses of as much as 15 percent after temperatures fell to below 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit) in February, the researcher said in e-mailed statement today.
