EU Wheat Crops Not Seen Suffering Big Hit From Cold Spell

Severe cold across Europe last week was unlikely to cause significant damage to wheat, according to analysts and traders, because crops were insulated by snow and had built winter hardiness. Rapeseed sown during late-summer drought and some early-drilled spring barley were judged more at risk.

French winter soft wheat area was raised to 4.86 million hectares, up 15% year on year.
