July 08, 2026, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Dalberg, Germany: A combine harvester drives across a grain field during the barley harvest. After many days of rain, which left the soil soggy and the crop too damp, the grain harvest is now getting underway in northern Germany as well. According to the Farmers Association, barley accounts for approximately 139,800 hectares of the 1.1 million hectares of arable land.
