Harvesting of barley has begun in Eskil, Aksaray, located in the Konya Plain. The abundant rainfall in the region in recent times has increased the yield and doubled the harvest. Farmers, who obtained 300 kilograms per acre last year, can now obtain up to 600 kilograms of produce this year.
The barley harvest has begun in the Eskil district of Aksaray. The farmers in Eskil, located within the Konya Plain, which is known as a granary, are pleased with the barley harvest.
The spring season being more rainy compared to previous years has brought smiles to the faces of the farmers.
In previous years, farmers in arid fields were able to harvest 300 kilograms of produce per acre. However, with the rainfall this year, they can now harvest up to 600 kilograms of produce.
Halis Yol (54), a farmer with 10 years of experience, expressed his happiness with this year's harvest due to the improved yield resulting from better rainfall. He said, "We have been engaged in this profession for 10 years, but this year's yield, combined with the improved rainfall, has made farmers very happy, and we are also delighted. We have never had such a productive year before, but thanks to Allah, the yield is consistently high on every piece of land we work on. While we harvested only 30 kilograms during the drought last year, this year we are harvesting around 600 kilograms. In the irrigated areas, we are even getting close to one ton. Last year, it was 60 kilograms. This is due to the excessive rainfall. The farmers are very happy."
