Satellite observations have made it possible to evaluate the success of Ukraine\u2019s wheat and barley harvest, even in active war zones or occupied territories.

However, NASA Harvest\u2019s analysis indicates that 94 percent of the winter crop was harvested, including 88 percent of winter crops in areas not controlled by Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
