Warm weather this week may temporarily slow consumption. There are continued reports that later planted crops are slow to mature. Crops still have a good chance to catch up but with shorter day length and cooler overnight temperatures this may be limited, even given the mild weather forecast.
In Belgium test digs show that average yields are still behind last year, mainly due to late planting. The average planting date is almost a month behind the multi-year average.
In the U.K. burn down is well advanced in the South and storage is now a priority but from the North Midlands northwards there are many later planted crops that are still green. In Yorkshire last week, some growers were still irrigating later planted processing crops.
