The Konya Plain is experiencing a bountiful harvest. The harvest activity, which began in July, has increased significantly in recent days. As the sounds of combined harvesters resonate throughout the plain, the abundant harvests bring joy.
In the autumn season, the cereal seeds sown into the soil meet the hard work with the barley and wheat grains pouring out of the combine harvester's hopper, providing a rewarding return for the farmer's labor. This year, along with abundant rainfall, the yield is also significantly higher.
Farmers, who experiment with various types of seeds in their fields and strive to find the most suitable variety for the soil and climatic conditions, are reaping the rewards of their R&D efforts.
Professor Dr. Süleyman Soylu stated, "We accompanied the harvest celebration of our successful farmer, Faruk Erduran, who has been sowing Halis Bread Wheat on an area of over a thousand hectares in the Akören neighborhood of Karapınar. He has been consistently achieving an average yield of 1100-1200 kilograms per hectare for the past three years."
