# Fodder for winter: a senator asks where the stocks are and who will organize their transport

> French senator Sylvie Robert submitted a written question on November 12 asking the government to map available winter fodder stocks against livestock needs. She also asked who will organize delivery and the timeline for a transport support scheme, which the ministry had reportedly been studying since July. As of November 13 the question was still awaiting a Senate reply.

## Why it matters

Farmers who ran through winter forage early due to poor summer grass face a shortfall, and transport gaps can keep hay from reaching them even when aid is available. Tighter French hay supply could support forage prices and lift demand for imported fodder.
