Spring sowing of early cereal crops is underway in several districts of the Bryansk region, including Gordeyevsky, Krasnogorsky, Novozybkovsky, and Starodubsky. In the last three of these districts, farmers have already started planting potatoes. At the same time, agricultural enterprises are carrying out fertilization of grain crops, winter rapeseed, and perennial grasses.
