# Weather conditions are now more favorable for French crops

> Forecasts for the first half of November in France have shifted from cold and dry to milder and wetter. The conditions are expected to support winter-cereal and rapeseed development, although they may also increase slug and aphid risks; soft-wheat sowing was 84% complete by November 2, 11 percentage points ahead of the five-year average.
