Russia’s grain
Russia harvests 125–145 million tonnes of grain a year and sells more wheat than anyone else in the world. The main reserve is not new fields but precision on the existing ones.
Numbers
- Grain: 125.9 million t in 2024 and 141.2 million t in 2025; wheat in 2025: 91.1 million t (Rosstat).
- Wheat exports per USDA: 55.5 million t in the 2023/24 season and 48.0 million t in 2025/26; the 2026/27 forecast is 40.0 million t.
- The 2026 harvest: by October, more than 126 million t in bunker weight, with ≈90% of the area harvested.
- Tractor sales in 2025: down 31%; combine sales: down 31%; the fleet is renewed at ≈3.5% a year.
- Cognitive Pilot autosteer: 312 kits in 2023 and 405 in the first quarter of 2024.

What to learn
Garden
Crop rotation works in a garden bed too: root crops after cabbage, tomatoes after legumes.
Farm
Autosteer on an old tractor costs less than a new tractor: less overlap means less seed and fuel.
Agribusiness
Satellite and yield maps show where a field loses money; try variable rates on strips first.
Video
A video search on third-party platforms — it opens in a new tab.
