Combine harvesters are currently at work in many fields across Germany. However, the dryness of the past few weeks has severely dampened harvest prospects, leading to a significant reduction in grain quantities.

According to an assessment by the Raiffeisenverband, the harvest in several regions is expected to fall short of expectations regarding agricultural production. The situation could worsen in the coming weeks if rain does not arrive.
