12 360 hectares autumn sawing and about 8 400 hectares spring sawing
was realized in Syunik marz.

Recently there have been cases of aridity in 20 thousand-hectare
fields of grain in Sisian, Goris and Kapan because of the abrupt
temperature increase.

According to the meteorological centre the weather is likely to change
after June 17. Farmers assume that the threat of aridity will die out
in case the temperature decreases. Specialists point out that the
situation is under control and they are now realizing observations
in the fields.
