Despite an unprecedented union movement initiated by the FDSEA and the JA du Tarn, entitled “We walk on our heads”, and despite successful communication around the distress of farmers (symbolized by the upside-down signs), agricultural grievances have not yet received the concrete answers they had hoped for. The support of the prefect and the rallying of public opinion to the agricultural cause were not enough to obtain tangible progress. However, farmers are not ready to give up at the first difficulty, just like the FDSEA and the JA du Tarn. Faced with the frustration of “it's no use, I'm going home”, farmers prefer combative optimism: “They want to bury us, but they have forgotten that we are seeds which will germinate and go back into battle!” To strengthen this determination, local meetings are organized to consult each farmer. These meetings will allow us to discuss union strategy, achievements and demands, but above all to listen to expectations concerning the departmental agricultural project. What types of agriculture do you want for our region? What issues and challenges will you face? Come and take part in these essential exchanges for the future of our agriculture.
