Abstract

[fre] La crise économique actuelle n'a pas épargné l'agriculture. Il est nécessaire, plus que jamais, pour l'agriculteur de réfléchir dans son exploitation à l'utilisation judicieuse des sols et du climat, pour mieux rentabiliser ses achats extérieurs et pratiquer des économies, notamment dans les productions animales. . Beaucoup de facteurs de production peuvent être obtenus dans de meilleures conditions économiques, en particulier les protéines nécessaires aux bovins. Pourquoi ne pas faire consommer les fourrages par les animaux plutôt que les transformer de manière plus ou moins sophistiquée, en utilisant beaucoup d'énergie et par conséquent en dépensant beaucoup d'argent ? . Une expérience concrète en production laitière montre qu'une intensification rationnelle, toujours indispensable, est réalisable de façon économique et permet à des agriculteurs exploitant de 20 à 50 hectares d'obtenir un revenu correct d'un troupeau laitier de 40 à 50 vaches. En même temps, la culture intensive des graminées autorise un assolement qui procure de bons rendements et conserve le potentiel de production du sol au plus haut niveau. [eng] The present economic situation has an influence on all sectors of activity, including farming. - In order to provide the farmer with as many services as possible it is as well to think both in terms of his farm (the best use of the land and the climate) and in terms of what he buys outside, and to consider the necessary economies that must be made, especially where animal productions are concerned. . Many products can be obtained in more advantageous conditions, especially the proteins needed for cattle. Why not give fodder to the cattle instead of transforming this fodder into more highly processed products requiring energy, that consequently cost more ? . A concrete experiment in dairy-farming shows that a rational intensification is necessary. It is possible, and enables farmers farming 20-50 hectares to obtain an adequate income from a herd of 40-50 cows. At the same time, rotation cropping ensures the future, by intensive cultivation of grain crops. These are highly productive and are also the best means of protecting the soil, which then maintains all its agronomic potential.
