Work for a pittance. After spending his night in police custody, Nicolas, a goat breeder, is the guest of
Pascal Praud and you
this Thursday. At the microphone of Europe 1, he talks about the financial difficulties that farmers encounter in their profession. This farmer has been raising goats for 20 years now, and today he is experiencing his worst period. “At the beginning, we had good years. Now, it becomes more possible,” laments Nicolas. He and his wife are paid 700 euros. “That’s 350 euros each for having worked 50 hours a week, even more. It’s absurd,” warns the breeder. On the set, this farmer admits to taking out a loan to pay the MSA, social charges. “We are on a permanent razor blade,” he says indignantly.
