This year, the expected precipitation did not fall. There was a low yield due to the drought that occurred throughout Türkiye. The dry farming areas within our university were also affected by the drought. Despite this, we obtained a higher yield than expected. We are trying alternative products that require less water and to make production that will set an example for Konya farmers."
