Windy, mild and a lot of rain, but not in the form of snow without rain. It is not a desirable climate when, for example, to go out and drive with heavy vehicles in the forest.
- The forest industry has huge concerns. We break down the roots of the trees. We would have liked to have harvested old fir trees in the winter, so we had removed them to the next swarm of fir bark drills in the spring, says farmer and forestry farmer Robert Kihlin.
When it comes to autumn sowing and harvest, he is uncertain how the mild winter will affect.
- The crops usually want winter rest. Now it is growing all the time and we are not used to it on our latitudes. How it affects our rapeseed, our turnip and our wheat, we do not know until the summer, he says.
