How to read this table
The row breakdown is organized geographically, starting with the national total and ending with data for specific constituent entities of the federation. Readers can compare 2024 and 2025 figures for any region to assess local sown area dynamics. Comparing federal districts helps understand regional specialization, while the total row for the Russian Federation provides an overview of the overall change in the scale of forage crop cultivation over the specified period
