In Skåne, Halland and Blekinge, up to a third of the country's grain is produced.
But despite the unusually large autumn sowing, this year's harvest is forecast to be smaller than in the last two years.
- It was unusually hot and dry during May and June, which meant that parts of the harvest dried up, says Henrik Malm who is a farmer in Söderslätt in Skåne.

Rain has prevented sowing
In Uppsala, Västmanland, Dalarna, Värmland and Närke, it has instead rained unusually much during the spring, which has led to late sowing and thus also smaller harvests.
- There are farmers who have not been able to do so at all in some fields due to the moisture.
And that can mean a loss of income of 20-25 percent, says Mikael Jeppsson who is grain manager at Lantmännen.

Large geographical differences
In Östergötland, Sörmland and Västerbotten, the weather has been favorable and growth there has been normal.
- There is always a difference in what the harvest looks like around the country, but this year the variation is greater than usual.
