A year after farmers and milk producers, grain are in turn in difficulty after a wet spring, the wheat harvest is down. Reportage in Bonnefamille in the Nord-Isère.
Too much rain and not enough sun. Hardly completed wheat harvest, farmers expect the worst harvest in 30 years , with yields down 30%, according to estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture.
the wheat could not inflate properly, have a good weight, because of the wet and cold weather in April “
Spring weather in France, first European manufacturer, have not helped farmers were already facing a unfavorable market . Eastern countries and the United States produce much, thus lowering world prices.
and even if the situation is not comparable with the fields of the Ile-de-France (flooded in June) Isérois farmers are not spared. There is resignation in Pascal’s eyes Curnil, operator near Bonnefamille Villefontaine. This year, on 60 hectares of freshly harvested wheat third is poor … too small grain, “that has not inflate properly, have a good weight, because of the wet and cold weather of April “itemtype =” https “
the result: the weight at least equal volume and sold cheaper wheat Double punishment facing an already complicated market. “We can expect to pay, which hardly exceed 110 euros per tonne, gold should be a wheat prices around 180 euros to get there … “
When you do not sub for pay, no will not spend … “
government has decided to support the grain with a aid plan , measures tax, but not enough to reassure the operator: “A white year is the deferral of expenses that you must pay to the years after. The big question in these cases is to know what we will reap the following years. If we continue in the same context as the last three years, with little cash coming in, the accumulated charges, it’s called ‘go faster with’. When one has no sub for pay, we will not spend … “
Can not therefore invest and he bitterly notes that its wheat is not good enough to make flour . According to him, we must expect to see bread prices rise.
