In early April, Ukrainian soldiers expelled Russian invaders from the northern regions of Ukraine: Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions.
The wounded enemy left, leaving behind burned-out war machines and the unburied corpses of soldiers. However, the invaders managed to do a lot of damage. Many of you are probably aware of the atrocities uncovered after their departure. Farmers were also affected.
Wherever the Ukrainian army enters, the houses of rural residents are on fire. Farms and granaries are destroyed. At the same time, agricultural machinery is either taken to Russia or destroyed on the spot. Hundreds of Ukrainian farmers have lost their tractors and seeders.

It should be said that in Ukraine, now is the optimal time for sowing crops. In principle, corn and sunflower can be sown until the beginning of June to get a more or less normal yield. However, right now every day of lost time is very expensive, so farmers from the liberated regions have immediately tried to sow grain.
