# Weather extremes still impacting on Europe's tillage sectors

> The European Commission reports that weather extremes continue to hamper tillage work across Europe as the 2026 harvest nears completion. EU yield forecasts are below the five-year average for most crops, with slight downward revisions in regions hit by poor soil moisture. Dry soils have hampered rapeseed emergence in parts of western and central Europe, while waterlogging has delayed winter sowing in the Baltics and Finland.

## Why it matters

Yields below the five-year average and patchy winter crop establishment tighten the EU grain and oilseed outlook, which supports wheat and rapeseed-based feed prices.
