Fabien, 4th generation of breeders in Villers-Saint-Sépulcre, in Oise, took over his parents' breeding. Like many farmers, his main problem remains cash flow.
“I have debts that keep me from sleeping and yet I am still obliged to invest to meet the specifications of modern breeding. It’s schizophrenic,” confides the breeder. For this family of farmers, a dark cloud hangs over the future. ‘I'm afraid he'll file for bankruptcy, but after a while you have to be realistic,’ says his mother.
