Representatives from the agricultural sector, local authorities, and state services in the Corrèze prefecture have confirmed that the ongoing drought has affected nearly all agricultural activities in the region. In response, an exceptional support plan called CASI has been approved to help the most affected farms. However, the FDSEA and the Young Farmers, two major agricultural organizations, argue that the available funds are still far from sufficient to cover the losses incurred by farmers. Since spring, the combination of water shortages and high temperatures has disrupted agricultural production cycles. Livestock farming has been hit the hardest, as reduced grass growth and lower forage yields have forced many farmers to buy external feed, increasing their costs. This has placed additional strain on already tight financial resources. Vegetable growers, fruit tree growers, corn producers, and nursery growers have also experienced significant losses. Officials are currently working to document all the damages to enable access to compensation programs. Some crops, including red fruits, stone fruits, and corn, have already received recognition for losses due to climatic hazards, with more expected in the coming weeks. However, forest nurseries, horticultural products, and beekeeping are still under evaluation. A new insurance scheme has been introduced as part of the reform of climate risk management to assist farmers affected by pasture shortages. Insured farmers are required to contact their insurers, while those without insurance must reach out to approved intermediaries to explore compensation options. The Prefect has initiated the first phase of the CASI plan, with a focus on livestock farming and vegetable growing, which will receive nearly 75% of the allocated funds. Eligibility for livestock farming includes having at least 25 UGB (unit of grazing), a forage surface ratio above 75%, meeting a minimum loading threshold, and not earning more than two minimum wages from non-agricultural income. Around 1,334 farms are expected to qualify for this aid, receiving approximately 8.61 euros per UGB, with an additional 50% bonus for Young Farmers and farms participating in the agri-accompaniment program. To expedite the payment process, a simplified procedure has been introduced, with personalized letters being sent to affected farms. Farmers are required to return the necessary documents within three weeks, with a final deadline set for October 30. Vegetable growers will also benefit from a dedicated support program, with their applications being processed in two steps. The eligibility criteria for vegetable growing involve a surface area of more than 3,500 square meters, with compensation provided as a lump sum. However, the exact amounts of aid are still being finalized. While the FDSEA and the Young Farmers welcome the efforts of the state services, they argue that the financial support announced is insufficient to address the scale of the crisis in Corrèze. They estimate that the 1.4 million euros allocated is a mere fraction of what is needed. The organizations warn of the risk of increased depopulation of livestock herds, with some farmers forced to sell animals to generate liquidity. This could have long-term consequences for the livestock sectors in Corrèze and potentially lead to a drop in market prices. They stress the importance of providing farmers with the necessary resources to navigate this difficult period without being forced to abandon their production tools.
