German farmers are facing varied harvest prospects this year due to challenging weather conditions.

In Brandenburg, farmers expect a below-average grain harvest of about 2.1 million tons, down from last year's 2.3 million tons.

Late frosts and heavy rains have impacted crops, increasing the risk of fungal diseases.

Meanwhile, Baden-Württemberg anticipates an average to slightly above-average harvest, despite some flood damage.

Winter crops like wheat and barley are faring well, but summer barley and corn are struggling.

Nationwide, the German Farmers' Association predicts a slight decrease in grain production to around 42 million tons.

Farmers are calling for broader access to plant protection products to combat increased disease risks in the wet conditions.
