Farmers will soon start harvesting rape in their fields. Timely harvesting of rape is critical to prevent quantitative and qualitative loss of rapeseed during the harvest. The optimum harvest date is the so called technical maturity of seeds - the seeds should have turned brownish and have strong pods. When technically mature, the seeds have the highest fat content. The staff of our Raw Materials and Agricultural Engineering Service visit plantations of rape and report on their condition, so that all departments of the Company be ready to receive a new stock.
