Photo report

Crops are thirsty, very thirsty

29 May 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

With a temperature of 33,1 degrees in Arcen in North Limburg, a heat record was broken on Monday. Never before has it been this hot on May 29.

Meanwhile, the crops crave water. Farmers who can irrigate spend the day and sometimes even the night moving irrigation reels.
