Waiting for what meteorologists already define as the September summer, it's time to make some assessments of the current season.
The rainy end of winter has caused significant delays in planting and transplanting, sometimes it has even caused production cycles to fail (it is no coincidence that green beans, beans, peas, tomato sauce, lettuce, zucchini and other typical spring and summer vegetables have been lacking or scarce this year). In the same way, the planting of cereals and extensive crops such as barley, wheat, corn, protein peas, millet, sorghum, buckwheat has been delayed.
