Spring wheat was also planted at 3% of the plan, which corresponds to the average for the last five years on the same date.

As of April 7, 2024, the share of winter wheat crops in excellent and good condition was 56% (56% earlier and 27% a year ago), the best figure since 2020. 32% (33% and 36%) of the crops are in satisfactory condition, and 12% (11% and 37%) are in poor and very poor condition.
