Swaar re\u00ebnneerslae wek kommer by saaiboere in die Vrystaat. Met re\u00ebn wat voortdurend uitsak, kon die omvang van die skade aan oeste nog nie akkuraat bepaal word nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie meeste saaiboere het skade en moet groot uitdagings trotseer,\u201d s\u00ea Hendrik Knobel, verteenwoordiger van Vrystaat Landbou in Bethlehem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns staan op ongeveer 325 mm re\u00ebn \u2013 dit terwyl die Bethlehem-omgewing se gemiddelde re\u00ebnval vir Desember 120 mm is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie jong mielies is geel van te min suurstof. Hoewel die eerste mielie-aanplantings en mielies op kleilande redelik goed lyk, kom versuiptoestande oral voor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die uitloging van stikstof op diep sandlande is die oorsaak van mielies wat geel vertoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie koste van kunsmis en diesel het geweldig gestyg, wat onder die nat toestande die winsgewendheid nog meer negatief be\u00efnvloed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koring moes reeds gestroop word en verloor vinnig graad weens nat landerye. Dit noodsaak koringboere om ten duurste spesiale bande aan te koop of werktuie te huur om die koring in di\u00e9 toestande te stroop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koringboere benodig nou baie sonskyn om die koring tot \u2019n aanvaarbare vogpersentasie te droog voordat dit by silo\u2019s gelewer kan word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Planttyd vir suikerbone is reeds verby. As boere nou plant, kan moontlike vroe\u00eb ryp in Maart \u2019n risiko inhou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sojabone word ook geel, hoewel di\u00e9 gewas die re\u00ebntoestande beter hanteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes Vosloo, \u2019n boer van Kroonstad, s\u00ea hy kon op Maandag 3 Januarie die eerste keer in drie weke werk. In die bykans 30 jaar wat hy boer, is dit die eerste keer dat hy vir so lank nie kon werk nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie landerye is eenvoudig versadig en die water is net te veel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Willie Prinsloo, \u2019n saaiboer van Paul Roux, is die grond te nat om groenvoer vir weiding te plant. Hy het ook sojabone op die land en kan nog nie die skade bepaal nie. Hy reken die meeste landerye het spoelskade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n verklaring wat Maandag (10\/01) deur die VF Plus uitgereik is, is Sisi Ntombela, Vrystaatse premier, versoek om gebiede waar grootskaalse skade weens die buitengewone re\u00ebnseisoen aangerig is, tot rampgebiede te verklaar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
