@sizov_andre @agturbobrazil 44% isn’t there. Numbers will come down…

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@kannbwx 41% is highly optimistic…its been unbelievable here,our sunflowers even have heat necrosis.
I haven’t seen one cornfield yet which I would rate good. Just glad I decided to skip corn for this year

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@sizov_andre @agturbobrazil We are between Toulouse and Bordeaux, Will finish wheat today . It’s weighing 80kg. But overall between 1.5 and 2 tonnes less yield. Luckily I didn’t seed corn and i can irrigate some of the sunflower fields. They are starting to flower…..

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@WATCHER_GRAINS Agri mer will have to adjust. We are in the Sw of France and luckily our wheat is already in the dough stage so losses yes but hopefully limited . But the north of the country in milk stage is looking at over 2 percent per day losses….. so it will probably cost 15 to 20% yield

@AdamCSteinert @JohnDeere John Deere is the most stubborn companythere is. Cat had solved that problem decades ago. Same story with multifunctional levers…. They talk about it like it’s a new invention

@NikolausBlome Mit einem etwas Intelligenz könnte man drauf kommen dass es daran liegt dass die Grundnahrungsmittel viel zu billig sind und sich seit 40 Jahren nicht verändert haben. Wenigstens könnt ihr euch in den Talk Shows drüber unterhalten…. Vielleicht mit Ulrike Herman 😂 wie immer

@AUF1TV Hier in Frankreich hatten wir ein Fahrverbot für Traktoren damit man uns kontrollieren konnte
Nur einzelne haben es nach Paris geschafft….aber eigentlich müssten alle eu landwirte nach Brüssel fahren. Die Panzeruschi muss weg…

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@ElliotStabler92 Hier in Frankreich seit Anfang der Woche ebenfalls starke Proteste u. a.wegen der Unterzeichnung des mercosur Abkommens
Keiner berichtet davon im Ausland….

❄️🇦🇷 OLA POLAR: Los gauchos en la Patagonia

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

🥶 A severe cold snap has frozen rivers in Santa Cruz, Argentine Patagonia, with temperatures plunging to -25°C. This is Argentina's coldest winter since 1907. The Argentine Army captured striking images of the freeze, shared by journalist Leandro Vesco from La Nación.

@ISefati Ja dümmer geht’s nicht mehr

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@Kenya_Agron But looks great

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@Kenya_Agron The reason for planting sorghum, is that because it performs better in drought than corn? Or rather a better market for that?
Here in France it's considered to be hard on the soil not to be followed with wheat... Rather sunflowers so soil recovers in between

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@VisioCrop Les 30 % franchise c'est déjà ridicule.. Et qu'on assure mais sec et arrosé séparément, par contre après la récolte on regarde la tonnage comme une culture... Alors si cata dans maïs sec et bonne rendement irrigué, ils payent rien. Emmerdant..

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@Lengetia_farm El Nino.. If we are affected by this... Did the opposite to us, 700mm since mid October up here in the SW France . Unable to seed the wheat...
A good 2024!

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@kannbwx We are in the SW of france.. And only seeded 25 of our 500 acres... Almost 28 inches of rain since end of October...

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@nypost According to my calculation it's 364%....but maybe I make a mistake...
The other problem is that the inflation only happened in the wholesale and processing.. But not in foodproduction...

[Frank Hamel @hamel_frank]

@ACOMRB Yes... Have seeded 5% of the wheat and doesn't look like we will be able to seed the rest.. Still 50ha of corn out, flooded by a river.
Between Toulouse and Bordeaux

@traviss22 What, the machine costs 1.050,000??
