After last year's harvest was dominated by a lack of rain and heat waves, this year's harvest is experiencing significant weather caprices. A wet spring for weeks, followed by almost 8 weeks of drought in May and June, and then constant rain that repeatedly interrupted the harvest. Due to abundant and frequent rain, German farmers probably only harvested a smaller crop this summer. The qualities have also suffered to some extent. Insofar as the grain was harvested before the rainy period in the harvest period, good qualities can also be expected.
