Uhmm... I used to live in Russia, hardly a 'southern part'. I was
also specifically NOT talking about fruit but about grains. My point
was that you undercounted the yields from grains because you factored
in only a single harvest, which is true for fruit but not grains.
Your comparison for different crops should have been on a yearly
basis.
I know that currently farming in Russia is hardly organic. However,
they used to have 2 crops/year there years ago (long before
communists) and as far as I know all farming back then would
qualify as organic.
