What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A new report showed that the UK harvest has been 'disappointing' due to extreme weather, including a record dry July for England and Wales. Cereal yields are significantly below historic averages. While winter barley yields in England reached 6.9 tonnes per hectare, wheat, spring barley, and oat yields are below historic averages. Average wheat yields in Scotland and northern England reached 6.9 tonnes per hectare, but remain below the national 10-year average of 7.9 tonnes per hectare.
