Snowfall disaster in Russia – Crops buried under more than a foot of snow
October 4, 2017 by Robert   

Emergency declared in three regions of Khakassia. Harvesting of feed and grain crops temporarily suspended.

Russia 4 Oct 2017 –  “The bread went under the snow.” For agrarians, snow on top of unharvested fields is a real disaster.

At first came the heavy rains so harvesting couldn’t begin. Then came the frosts and snow, from 10 to 40 cm (4 to 16 inches) deep. Under the snow is the harvest of 2017 … A real disaster.
