The agricultural world mainly aims to raise public awareness. Among the farmers present this morning to demonstrate, Jérôme Bonhomme. Today, the farmer can no longer do it. So he had to take two jobs: “We are in the Limousin breed sector, so we mainly do meat, and with all the administrative constraints and the arduousness of the job, we are obliged to have a job on the side because we wouldn’t really be able to make a living from it. this job at the moment, and that’s what’s unfortunate.”
Following this event, traffic problems are expected. Queues are already encountered on the A27 between Verviers and Battice. The authorities also advise avoiding national roads near the “cow roundabout”. The firefighters also remind us that it is imperative to leave the safety corridor free on the motorway.
