    we left the crisis coming, a small seal by it and by, without dealing from the outset long ago that we would have to create a label "French meat" to entice buyers!

    But what will make this practical agriculture minister loudmouthed but weak in action?
    Apart from being more government spokesman which of course there is the permanent thurifer!
    The cause, he threatens, he storm, he rails against, he admonishes the cause of all his woes: the Republican opposition and all those who do not think like him and his disastrous socialist ideology that impoverishes and drives over more than three years already lost in an economic crisis they are unable left by dogmatic carelessness and intrinsic demagoguery, to get the country!
    The punishment will be all the more terrible to regional and especially for next December presidential will follow!
    Still 2 years and 9 months to undergo the pre-liberation of energies with a new wind finally rid of these putrid miasma that chokes us since May 2012!

    Contrary to what the minister said, the competitiveness obviously requires an increase in the number of cows per herd! By denying this fact, it is a bad start, and French agriculture with him ...
