Thuringia Winemakers Anticipate Strong Harvest After Challenging Year Favorable late summer weather boosts grape quality and yields, offering hope for recovery following 2024 frost losses.

Thuringia Winemakers Anticipate Strong Harvest After Challenging Year #Thuringia #Winemakers #Harvest2024 #GrapeQuality #WineLovers

The winter crop season bodes well for food supplies Wandile Sihlobo  For much of the past few weeks, we have focused on the summer grains and oilseed, the plantings of which have recently started across South Africa. But other equally essential crops are winter grains and oilseeds. After a reasonably good production period during the winter season, the farmers are now busy harvesting the 2024-25 winter crops. Unlike other crops where we monitor the production conditions nationally, with winter crops, we pay close attention to the Western Cape because of the province’s significant contribution to these crops. For example, about 70% of the winter wheat plantings for the 2024-25 season are in the Western Cape. The area planted for barley, canola, and oats is also significant in the province as a winter rainfall region. Other major winter crop-producing provinces are the Northern Cape, Free State, and Limpopo, and the production in these provinces is mainly under irrigation. This year’s primary challenge for these provinces was the mid-summer drought, which made farmers risk averse, and when the 2024-25 winter season started, they reduced the area plantings. The latest production data mirror these area reductions. For example, in the last week of November 2024, the Crop Estimates Committee released its fourth 2024-25 winter crop production estimates for South Africa. The Committee slashed its winter crop production estimate by 16% month on month to 2.68 million tonnes. On an annual basis, the harvest is down by roughly the same percentage, 1.5%, from the 2023-24 season. This estimate comprises wheat, barley, canola, oats and sweet lupines. Wheat production is estimated at 1.94 million tonnes, down 1.3% month on month and 5% year-on-year. The crop losses are not in the Western Cape, the major wheat producer. The Western Cape expects a larger harvest than the 2023-24 season. The challenge is the poor harvest in other producing provinces, primarily the Northern Cape, Limpopo, and the Free State.  However, the challenge for the Free State and Limpopo is beyond the prices. These provinces experienced severe mid-summer drought, which led to significant summer grain losses. When the winter wheat season started in May, farmers’ mood was downbeat, and they worried about soil moisture. Others may have wanted to conserve soil moisture for the new summer crop season. Thus, we saw lower plantings and relatively lower expected yields in some areas. These challenges have contributed to the 5% expected national decline in the 2024-25 South African winter wheat harvest. One would assume that the imports would increase, especially as the consumption of wheat and wheat products in South Africa remains strong. However, the South African Grain and Oilseeds Supply and Demand Estimates Committee estimates suggest that 2024-25 wheat imports may fall 7% to 1.80 million tonnes.  Aside from wheat, the 2024-25 barley production is estimated at 371k tonnes, down 4% month on month and 1% year on year. On a more upbeat note, the 2024-25 canola production is forecast at 295 000 tonnes. This is the largest harvest on record, up 25% year on year. Also worth highlighting is South Africa’s 2024-25 oats production, estimated at 56 000 tonnes, down 9% month on month but up 37% year on year.  These fourth production estimates paint a mixed picture of South Africa’s winter crop prospects for the 2024-25 season. However, this should not be an issue, especially from a consumer perspective. The large imports in the last season have boosted the opening stocks when considering the major winter crop, wheat. This puts South Africa in a relatively good place regarding wheat supplies this new marketing year.  – Agricultural Economics Today

Who said harvesting barley in Scotland in December isn’t fun? 🥶 #barley #harvest2024 #OWB

Finally back in the paddock after more rain delays. Views are turning it on tonight 🙌 #harvest2024 #wheat #raindelay #sunset #agsky

And I'm done with harvest this year! This is the last load going into the bin. The team has another half day of work tomorrow but I'm off to Sydney. #harvest2024

Hello BlueSky friends. Just thought I would share a photo (before our huge snowfall today) near where I live. #harvest2024

We're going again! But don't worry subs I'm still coming to Sydney next week. Too much fun in the diary to miss it! #harvest2024

It doesn’t look like much, but roasted sunchoke (aka Jerusalem artichoke) is delicious! I prep it just like sweet potato fries #harvest2024 #homegrown #smallfarm

Ending #Harvest2024 with a great crew & great apples, Dabinett from our home orchard. The latest we’ve ever pressed this variety & overall the earliest we’ve ended a season - c’est la nature! Big thx to Emma & Sean & our Italian friends Marco & Daniella for getting us over the line!

Brava Tutti!

Rosemary Russet apples from the allotment were just right for picking today — only a couple of windfalls that will need using quickly. They’re good for eating or cooking.
