Comments on sustainability
Ensure yields and economic profits avoiding shrivelling (heat waves of late spring) and problems of low nascencia. Thought it may be necessary to invest in seeds and difficults to plan costs and sowns, share resources in cooperatives or farmers unions could be a solution at social level.
