The lack of rain over the past few weeks has raised concerns about cereal crops. At greatest risk are wheat, barley and oats. Joan Simonet, the manager of the Asaja agricultural businesses association, says that farmers have been on "yellow alert" for some weeks. Now, however, "we are at amber and farmers are worried about the risks for the harvest". He recalls how things were two years ago, when there were large losses for the totally opposite reason - too much rain and flooding.
