QUOTES:

"For Heil and thousands of other European farmers, this is a sour summer.
Temperatures that at times have risen into the low 100s and scanty rains
have parched fields and orchards in France, Italy, Germany and Austria,
causing losses in fruit, grain, sugar beets, canola, soy, sunflowers and
crops grown for animal feed.

Up to 80 percent of the current grain crop has been lost in parts of
eastern Germany."
