Farmers have been ordered to stop harvesting in France's second largest grain producing department Oise after hundreds of hectares of fields caught fire during an intense heatwave.
At least one farmer was killed during when his harvester became engulfed in one inferno, local media reported.
Harvesting is in full swing in France, the European Union's largest grain producer and exporter, where searing temperatures this week broke records in many parts of northern France and elsewhere in western Europe.
Note how neither article mentions the climate crisis or global warming.
That said, this is 500 Ha that caught on fire, and it's unclear how much area the order to stop harvesting represents in France's total grain production. While unlikely to cause food collapse this year, it is nonetheless highly alarming and portends a poor future.
