🍇 "La Tour Carnet 2050: insights on phenology and yield of a very large collection of varieties" 🔗 Freely available on: https://bit.ly/3W7qkf5 💡 NEW technical article on #IVESTechnicalReviews! 🔎 The introduction of new #grape varieties to Bordeaux is one of the available levers to build up resilience to climate change. An ideal candidate for varietal diversification must fulfill different criteria, including, among others, later phenology and economically sustainable yield. 👨‍🏭 In order to identify potential candidates to be introduced in the varietal mix of the Bordeaux area, an experimental parcel called “The Bordeaux 2050 plot” was planted at Château La Tour Carnet in the Haut-Médoc (Cru Classé of the 1855 classification) with 90 different varieties in order to characterise multiple varietal traits. Phenology and #yield data are presented here to assist #growers in their #planting decisions. 🌍 In 6 languages: English, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Português. 👏 Thank you to the authors: Marc Plantevin, Julien Lecourt, Lucile Djikstra and Cornelis van Leeuwen for publishing your work in #OpenAccess! 🤝 Researchers from: UMR EGFV Bordeaux, Université de Bordeaux, Bordeaux Sciences Agro, INRAE, ISVV - Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin, Bernard Magrez #climatechange #grapevarieties

🌾 [Monday #Agronomic #News] As the 2024 #harvest season is still on going, we're facing a challenging year for #agriculture. In France, the harvest of rapeseed and winter barley is nearly complete, while winter wheat harvests continue in northern France and Belgium. Unfortunately, this year mirrors the conditions of 2016, with French winter wheat production expected to fall to around 26-27 million tonnes—more than 27% below the average of previous years (36 M t on average according to AGPB). Key factors contributing to this decline include: ▶ Lower Yields: Estimated at around 6.4-6.5 t/ha. (-11% compared with the ten-year average according to Arvalis), due to excessive rainfall and lack of sunlight at key crop stages. ▶Reduced Acreage: A 7.4% drop in wheat planting due to poor winter weather. Farmers' economic situation remains tense : wheat prices, currenlty under €220/t due to strong global harvests, and rising production costs put pressure on farmers' finances. Despite these challenges, it's a crucial time to emphasize the #sustainability of our farming practices and #soilhealth. By focusing on innovation and financial stability, we can navigate these obstacles and build a resilient future for agriculture. 🌱 Stay informed and stay resilient. #Agriculture #Harvest2024 #Sustainability #Farming #SoilHealth #EconomicOutlook #SoilCapital *The figures in this post are provisional estimates, to be consolidated at the end of the harvest.

🇫🇷🌾FranceAgriMer has moderately increased its forecast for 2023/24 French soft wheat exports outside the EU to 10.2 MMT, up by 150 KMT from the previous estimate and up by 0.4% from exports in 2022/23. FranceAgriMer reduced its soft wheat export forecast to EU member states to 6.17 MMT from 6.25 MMT, representing a 3.3% y/y decrease. Estimates for French soft wheat ending stocks in 2023/24 were revised slightly downward to 3.8 MMT, a 50.7% increase from the 2.54 MMT held in the 2022/23 season. - Agricensus

✅𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻! The sowing campaign has been completed in all regions of Ukraine just in time for the first frost. We owe this success to the professional actions of the NIBULON agricultural team, who once again this season had to adapt their work to the unfavorable weather conditions: drought conditions, under which sowing was carried out in dry soil for the second year in a row, thus “preserving” the seeds in anticipation of favorable weather conditions. 👉“Under such circumstances, there are risks of provocative precipitation, which can trigger germination but provide insufficient moisture for further plant development, potentially leading to crop loss,” explains Oleg Veselov, Director of Agricultural Production at NIBULON. “Thus, we lost part of our rapeseed and had to resow it. Despite these challenges, the vast majority of seedlings have survived, developed, and are entering the winter in a satisfactory and good condition.” This has been facilitated by the soil moisture conservation techniques implemented in the company, which allow for the improvement of both the quality and the economics of crops even in drought conditions and with limited access to moisture. ☝As a result, NIBULON has sown 8,600 hectares of winter wheat and 7,500 hectares of winter rapeseed. The lion's share of these crops is concentrated in Mykolaiv region. According to the development strategy for the agricultural sector, this year the area under rapeseed has almost tripled, while the area for winter wheat has decreased by 20% compared to the previous year. The expansion of rapeseed cultivation is driven by the high profitability of this crop, which makes it economically attractive even in the face of climate change. We thank our farmers! Together we feed the world! #News_NIBULON

The 2024 harvest presented a formidable challenge for farmers like Rémi Dummeri in La Bosse, France. Unpredictable humid weather, including heavy rainfall and a damaging hailstorm, made the harvest season particularly difficult. Despite these adverse conditions, Rémi remained determined to maximize his yield. To combat the challenges, Rémi turned to technology. He invested in Sveaverken F100 last year, a system that uses GNSS RTK signals to guide agricultural machinery along the pre-drawn paths without any deviation, allowing Rémi to upgrade his three machines for increased field work efficiency. "The Sveaverken guidance system that I acquired last year works on three machines: on the combine harvester today during July, then on a Case Puma tractor for stubble cultivation in August and September, and then for the rest of the year, it's on a Simex 310 for spraying. So, just one guidance system, no subscription, free, and I just bought the cables (Easy Change Kit) to pre-equip the equipment, and I just have to move the antenna, the screen, and the steering wheel," said Rémi. Despite the initial setbacks, Rémi's harvest was ultimately a success. Thanks to RTK guidance and other technological advancements, he increased his yields four times higher than the 2016 harvest, which was also a very difficult year. Rémi's story is a testament to the power of innovation in overcoming agricultural challenges and ensuring a sustainable future for farmers. Big thanks to Intrax.farm and PowerBoost, and Rémi for his thoughts!

France’s LDC takes majority stake in European Convenience Food Group France's LDC group has acquired a majority stake in European Convenience Food (ECF Group), a retail and food service supplier based in Germany. Otherwise known as Lambert Dodard Chancereul, the French business did not disclose in a brief statement the size nor the price it is paying for the stake as LDC extends this year’s acquisition spree. ECF Group’s management will remain minority shareholders after the transaction, which, subject to competition approval, is expected to close before year-end. Speaking to Just Food earlier this year, LDC’s CEO Philippe Gélin said the company is keen to expand beyond poultry into plant-based products. ECF Group fits that strategy with its vegetarian offerings. ECF Group was created in 2014 by merging Germany’s Karl Kemper Convenience and Eichkamp. The combined business supplies frozen vegetarian products, snacks, and meat-based items. As well as the retail and out-of-home channels, it also serves B2B customers and private labels. The company’s foodservice brands include Vegeta and Karl Kemper. The former offers products such as plant-based meals, patties, falafels and bratwurst. Karl Kemper operates in similar categories but in the meat section. https://lnkd.in/dw4u9bqg

🌱 [Monday #Agronomic #News!] In early April mild #temperatures have boosted winter #crop growth, particularly #wheat and #rape. While most wheat fields at the 2-node stage indicate ongoing stem development, some areas are experiencing premature ear emergence, raising concerns for frost damage. 🌦 Alternating patterns of rain and sunshine also create favorable conditions for fungal attacks, adding to farmers' challenges. On #springcrops side, return of dry weather enabled precision seeding for crops like beetroot and maize. Let's hope that conditions remain favorable for sowing over the next few days. 🇨🇮 During an Irish farm visit, we observed: ▶ The consequences of industrial farming practices ▶ The overspecialisation of Irish farming, especially in livestock, has led to an overproduction of animal manure and slurry, resulting - among other things - in excess #phosphorus in #soils, averaging twice the normal amount. The #Irish example shows how the excessive use of #organic products, although recommended for #carbonstorage, can also lead to #agronomic problems by contributing to an imbalance in soil nutrients and, consequently, pollution of aquatic environments in particular. The use of organic products must always be reasoned according to the characteristics and needs of the environment. #AgricultureInsights #RegenAg #Agronomy #SustainableFarming #MondayNews #FieldUpdates

Vendanges 2024 : That’s a Wrap ! The 2024 Harvest is coming to an end! With a harvest that lasted from late August until early October, this period was strong in emotions, challenges and exchanges. Although the quality of the juices seems to be on point, the volumes are down compared to last year, with less than 9 million hectolitres for Occitanie.   It’s now time to work in the cellar, then on the “assemblages”, accompanied by our oenologists, to sublimate what nature has given us this year.
