– Harvest 2024 second lowest on record, says Defra:
England has experienced its second worst harvest this year after record-breaking wet weather hit crop yields and quality, figures by Defra reveal.
Provisional 2024 Defra cereal and oilseed production figures for England show the country suffered its second worst harvest since records began in 1983, and the smallest since 2020, after heavy rain and flooding caused havoc last autumn and again in the spring.
Wet weather during July and August also disrupted harvesting progress in some English regions.
