Interview with Juris Lazdiņš, Chairman of the Board of the Association “Zemnieku Saeimas”

Although the beginning of September with warm and sunny weather is meteorologically very favorable for both those who have time to relax and those who have to do intensive harvesting work, the year as a whole has been difficult for the agricultural sector and has brought many losses. The harvest of the majority, or 90% farms, compared to last year, has decreased by between 20% and 50%. What is the situation with the granting of state support after the damage caused by frost, drought and storms, and how is the harvest going – comments Juris Lazdiņš, Chairman of the Board of the Farmers' Assembly.
