Planting conditions for winter grains in most northern and central parts of western Russia will be “mostly satisfactory” in September, the Federal Meteorological Service said Wednesday.
Conditions in the southern parts of the Volga Federal District and most of the Southern Federal District will be unfavorable because of insufficient soil moisture, the service said in a statement on its web site Tuesday. Harvesting and sowing conditions in the eastern part of the country will be “mostly” satisfactory in September, it said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
