# French wheat crop stable for second week after punishing spring - Markets - Business Recorder

> France's soft wheat crop condition held steady for a second week, with 56% rated good or excellent as of June 8, unchanged from the prior two weeks. The rating is well below 80% a year earlier and the lowest since the 2011 drought. Recent rain and cooler June weather have brought some relief after a second-hottest spring on record.
