An economic barometer from the German Farmers Association (DBV) for June has highlighted that markets are tougher than in March.

A further challenge, particularly in the north, is higher rents, while arable farmers are looking forward to a ‘good harvest’.

The DBV forecast said: “On average, the respondents gave a value of 3.18 on a scale from 1 to 5 obtained which fails currently significantly worse than in the March survey of 3.09.”
