@BayKbs @irenebiavetti @EU_JRC @EUAgri @amcgmobile @agridigital_eu @marijnvdv78 @KayitakireFrank @Soil_Science @COPACOGECA @Agronewsgr Thanks for the feedback, Knud! The map highlights areas where conditions *could have* caused damage - temperatures were largely below normal across much of Denmark during the first half of February, which is what we flag as a risk. Great to hear the winter crops are doing well!🌱
