the rains have made it difficult in the past few weeks, the work of the farmers. In many places, whether it be because of the wet soils is not possible, to enter the land.

floors suffered from two dry summers

The speaker of the chamber of agriculture of lower Saxony, Wolfgang Ehrecke said: "In some regions have fallen in February and 200 percent of the long-term average of precipitation."

the farmers are dependent on rain urgently, because it is precisely the heavy, clay-rich soils have been lost due to the dry summer of the years 2018 and 2019, with lots and lots of water. So, a moderate rain was more to the desire of the farmers, said Ehrecke.

deeper still dry areas

Because it takes up the water resources of the soil are replenished, said the chamber's expert. Even if on the surface, deep puddles are, give it in greater Depths still dry areas. It was about in the regions of Braunschweig, Helmstedt or Hildesheim the case.

"crops such as early potatoes are grown in regions such as Hannover, Uetze, or Peine, need to goods with the sowing until the floors are passable again," said Ehrecke. The same is true for the sowing of summer and barley in the regions of Gifhorn or Peine. "In these regions, three to four dry days, until the state is restored."

The idea of water in rainy seasons is enough time to save stock for dry periods, will be discussed among professionals quite, said Ehrecke. However, the investment costs are extremely high. A cubic meter of storage basin costs 15 Euro. A storage reservoir for a Million litres of water come to 15 million euros, such costs could hardly lift a operation.
