germany has the amounts three hundred forty million euros to help farmers if by drought as the result of a cabinet meeting today help can't come soon enough we visited a couple of farms just outside. the fields in brandenburg or some of the sandy astin germany and it hasn't rained in the region to april for weeks drought related damage has prompted the german farmers association to demand rapid financial aid now that the government announced millions of euros in assistance the farmers lobby says prioritization will be key. in so vilma's i will i would like to stress that it's important to support the farms that have suffered really bad setbacks losses of more than thirty percent oxygen we don't want to cast a wide net. we want to target the aid where it's needed most. is to allow the farms to continue to operate. that could make the fener farming cooperative eligible ahead of the government's announcement it said it lost seventy percent of the crops it needed to feed its cattle it was unable to build up large reserves due to past poor harvests. it was in between for out of the drought

you can see this farmer who we think of as the symbol of freedom, the independent farmer who still looks independent, still his or her own farm, we call him in our statistics independent business man or woman, but all of their choices are dictated by the four different company that's a crisis in farming but the more you look at different industries, the more i see the same thing. it's the middle man taking all of the value. while they're taking that value, they're taking away freedom. this is one of the things that bernie sanders talked about in his campaign the amount of money heard dollars me -- most farmers do not have choices of who to sell to. they don't have choices of who to buy from and who to borrow from. . . in 1981 the reagan administration effectively dismantled our long history of anti-monopoly laws. but then democratic presidents after reagan didn't then revive them. instead we came to something close to a consensus. that mergers were going to happen, the monopolization of the economy was just going to happen. and the left, or democrats, were split between those who too eas

i had peanut farmers, tobacco farmers and i had small farmers and the black farmers. so the issues in -- there were a lot of poor folks, okay? so the issues intertwined for me. sometimes they were areas of conflict but also you try to use that as an opportunity to get some things done. like eventually i became the ranking member of what was then called operation nutrition and forest forestry. i think it's called something else now, but nutrition is the main one of it. two issues stand out for me in terms of how agriculture responded to me, the black farmers issue. you know? tolerated -- allowed me to bring the black farmers issues to them and i appreciated that. i'm legally they were right. the statue of limitation had run, but no effort to find out what can we do in spite of that, but once i had other access to raise the interests of that, then i gathered support among the old boys club, okay? let's see how we can work this out. maybe -- how about an amendment, would that work? they said, oh, yeah, that will work, provide you're going to put it in legislation that wi

i asked her what are the most pressing needs for farmers at the moment.ly big one. the most urgent thing is water. we are at that point now where farmers are having to make that decision, do i continue to use the stocks that i have now, what's going to happen next season? and am i actually going to be able to plant now so that i can survive another season? so, waterand rain is the number one thing. but for them otherwise, it's getting access to feed, to financial advice and access to mental health services. and it's about knowing i guess that the community and all three levels of government are working with them to get them through this crisis. how coordinated is all of this? you're talking about the needs in your particular area but how joined up is it all? look, i think that's just starting to happen now. and that's probably one of the frustrations that some of our farming community have that we're hearing about, that, of course, many farmers are drought prepared and have been dealing with these drought conditions for sometime. of course, now the govern

earlier who's attending this land summit in bella bella in the limpopo province who says while farmers understand that injustices of the past have led to the vast majority of farming land being in the hands of the white minority the government has to reconsider its stance i think at the moment the uncertainty that that's in this whole discussion really really makes us feel threatened because you don't know we we're going to be in a year star so we certainly creates uncertainty i think in the past two weeks we've got some clarity from government coming government surely come come also to this learned by to go and give some assurance on what they planning to do how they are farmers who say this is an opportunity for the government to boost the economy and give rural communities a chance to participate i think that the issue of land expropriation is an issue that's been coming a long way in the struggle for liberation in south africa it's therefore an emotive issue and an economic issue is really a struggle about economic freedom and the liberties of people to live and work where they wis

farmers have described this season as the worst drought they've ever seen. and it's the livestock that are suffering the most. in better times the damage kevin tongue's property is three years deep it's now been empty for three months decimating his wheat and barley crop. all thirteen hundred sheep have to be fed with grain and fodder and transported from other parts of the country. yeah if it does dry we're still going to have to fade for another model six weeks any why because you know we're still getting frost here it's not warming up real quick. you know with that we're still going to have to invade and that's just another burden. on up audiences. the australian government pledged an eight hundred million euro increase in funding for drought afflicted farmers in addition to the three hundred sixty million euros of assistance previously announced but what farmers like ogilvy and tung need the most is some long awaited rain. the sale of high cafe in soft drinks to children could be. and in england the government of prime ministers recently is mulling a pro

have you got any words for farmers today? i'm here to talk to the nfu.g. today the government, experts and charities, came together to try and come up with a plan to help farmers. the impact is huge. i've had case studies sent to me from dairy farmers in particular who are in many cases looking at £60,000 worth of extra cost. that is unheard of at this time of year. with temperatures expected to go up again, the problem—solving continues. for beef farmer richard, he is a calf down and that means a loss of £500. because the grass is so short we are finding there's more worms in the animals because they are picking up worms off the ground. so we've had to vaccinate against the worms as well. how worried are you about this? i think we need to be concerned, i think we need our eyes wide open about what is going on and where our food comes from. it has been a tumultuous time. it's hoped today's meeting will help farmers plough an easier furrow through the hot summer and survive the coming winter. but if weather like this becomes the norm, many will want a lon

german farmers have to cope quickly with new situations every year but this summer all they can do is hope for a little rain. let's bring in sunny a dean from the environment sun you just saw how farms in germany are suffering under the current heat wave is it fair to generalize and say that industrialized farming has a problem dealing with extreme weather. i think it is fair to say as a broad statement that modern industrial farming is not prepared to deal with drought in these kinds of extreme weather circumstances it's designed to maximize profits and if you want to shift the farming system be to become more resilient that's really a very basic change that would happen from the bottom up and we saw some examples in a report of how farmers can make their crops more resilient or there are other techniques that could help as well. well a big one could be better information so access to predictive systems that can help farmers to plan better for when they plant when they harvest anticipate these kinds of extreme weather situations but beyond that i think it's important to mention not j
