\u2019n Bloedbad! Dit is wat die landboubedryf verlede week getref het met die swaar re\u00ebn wat oor die vallei uitgesak het, vir die soveelste keer sedert Desember. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vroeg in Desember verlede jaar is boere onkant getref toe \u2019n fratsstorm hul boorde met swaar re\u00ebn, hael en wind gepeper het. Talle vrugteboere het erg skade gely met wingerde en pruimboorde wat verwoes is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Februarie vanjaar het ontydige re\u00ebn ook veroorsaak dat pruimboere verliese gely het weens uitvoerprodukte wat weens die re\u00ebn en daaropvolgende hitte begin bars en dus tot niet gegaan het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En verlede week het die hemele behoorlik chaos gesaai onder Bolandse boere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ongelukkigheid word ook uitgespreek oor die beweerde swak bestuur van die Bergrivierdam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie grondeienaars meen dat die dambestuur vroe\u00ebr water uit die dam moes laat en nie moes wag het tot die swaar re\u00ebn tref nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Paarlse aarbeiboere Deonette en David Bourbon-Leftley s\u00ea hulle het altesaam vier hektaar aarbeie verloor toe die re\u00ebn Woensdag uitgesak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hul aarbeiplaas l\u00ea op die oewer van die Bergrivier in De Soete Inval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n derde van ons oes wat verwoes is toe die rivier oorvloei het,\u201d s\u00ea Deonette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns boer al dekades lank hier en het nog nooit so iets beleef nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEn dit n\u00e1 die erge haelskade wat ons pruimbome in Desember getref het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is vir almal op die plaas verskriklik hartseer om te sien hoe al jou harde werk net eensklaps verwoes is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie finansi\u00eble verlies is reusagtig, dit is \u2019n baie moeilike tyd vir ons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Wemmershoek is 192 mm vir die week van 15 \u2013 19 Junie aangeteken en in die Paarl 184 mm in dieselfde tydperk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jannie le Roux van Vendome-plaas langs die Paarl Arboretum s\u00ea hy het nog nie die rivier so hoog sien loop nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Vorige geslag het ges\u00ea dat die Bergrivier oor sy walle was in 1945,\u201d s\u00ea hy wel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le Roux s\u00ea verder normaalweg is die ondergrond weens die re\u00ebnseisoen eers teen Augustus versadig, waarna daar dus baie afloopwater is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar met die baie vroe\u00eb re\u00ebn is daardie versadigingspunt reeds in Mei vanjaar bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le Roux het byna sy hele pruimoes in die haelstorm wat die vallei op 13 Desember 2022 getref het, verloor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Billy Bourbon-Leftley, voorsitter van die Bergrivier-besproeiingsraad en boer op die Wemmershoekpad naby Val de Vie, s\u00ea daar is algeheel baie groot skade in die plaaslike landboubedryf weens verlede week se oorstromings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In sy meer as 50 jaar van boer hier het hy nog nie sulke water gesien nie, s\u00ea Bourbon-Leftley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie grond was reeds versadig en dus het alle riviere en strome wat afgekom het die Bergrivier verswelg. Dit was te baie water, te vinnig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En volgens hom is die vooruitsigte nie goed nie, omdat Julie en Augustus tradisioneel die maande is wanneer die meeste re\u00ebn val en die grond nie meer water kan dra nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jannie Strydom, voorsitter van Agri Wes-Kaap, s\u00ea dat die skade van die vloed op die landboubedryf baie groot is, maar die presiese skaal daarvan sal eers bepaal kan word wanneer die water gesak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ergste sektor wat getref is, is sitrus- en aartappelboere wat besig is om te oes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Langtermynskade is ook aangerig aan tafeldruif- en wyndruif-wingerde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom s\u00ea dat talle boere besproeiingstoerusting verloor het wat vervang sal moet word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ook die toegangsroetes tot plase wat verspoel het, is kommerwekkend en \u2019n groot uitdaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale rampbestuur-eenhede asook die Kaapse Wynland bedank vir die planne wat hulle in plek het en hul spoedige optredes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
