Faced with his pile of beets waiting to be loaded, Pascal Verrièle measures the weakness of his harvest. The rhizomes are insufficiently developed and the sugar content which depends on sunlight is low. All the crops of this cereal grower from Dormelles in Seine-et-Marne have been impacted by the exceptional rainfall in recent months. ” It is less 30% to 35% for winter barley and rapeseed., ” explains this operator, who is also departmental secretary of the FDSEA. He will therefore have no income this year. However, he is at the head of a 210 hectare farm, an area three times larger than the average.
“We can’t last long like that,” warns Pascal Verrièle
“We can't last long like this ” warns Pascal Verrièle again. Mobilized last winter in particular on the A6 with other members of the FDSEA, he is ready to demonstrate again. FNSEA and JA have called for actions starting this Friday. A date which corresponds a few days before the G20 is held in Rio de Janeiro from November 18 and 19. Negotiations are currently continuing between the EU and the Mercosur countries and JA fears the signing of a free trade agreement. exchange on the occasion of this high mass of the 20 richest countries in the world. Last Sunday, Annie Genevard, the Minister of Agriculture, nevertheless reiterated Paris' opposition to this agreement, just like Michel Barnier this Wednesday. Insufficient to calm agricultural anger.
“[ Nos adhérents] don't want to have done, everything they did last winter to not have something. We can mobilize quickly”, Pascal Verrièle still promises.
