Storms and rainshowers in large parts of France overnight provided some relief but not enough for French cereals suffering a prolonged drought, the head of the French agriculture association said on Monday.
FNSEA chief Christiane Lambert said on BFM television that rain that fell overnight would not solve wheat growers' problems as some of it ran off the land rather than penetrate bone-dry soils.
"For wheat, for cereals, it is now that the grains must fatten and now that they need water regularly," she said.
