Abstract

[fre] Des conditions défavorables et un: déséquilibre démographique expliquent la mentalité des agriculteurs des Combrailles. Comment réagissent-ils à l'idée d'entreprendre des améliorations ? Ils essaient timidement de copier «ceux qui ont les moyens», «les bons agriculteurs». Ceux-ci, novateurs ou conservateurs, sont peu nombreux par rapport aux agrciulteurs moyens, statiques, » pessimistes, peu ouverts aux idées économiques, sans vue d'ensemble de leurs problèmes. . Avant tout «travailleur de la terre», l'agriculteur moyen n'a pas d'autres informations que l'exemple des voisins, d'autres loisirs que des conversations avec eux. . Pour que l'agriculture se modernise dans cette région, il faudrait une réforme profonde des genres de vie et des représentations collectives. [eng] Unfavorable economic conditions and a lack of demographic balance explain, the mentality, of the farmers in the Combrailles area. What is their reaction to the idea of undertaking improvments ? They timidly try to copy « those who are better off », the « good farmers ». The latter, innovators or conservatives, are few compared to average farmers, who are static, pessimistic, not open to economic ideas and without a comprehensive view of their problems. ■ . Being first of -all a « land Worker », the average farmer has no other information than the examples of ! his neighbours and other leisure than to talk with them. . In- order to modernize the agriculture in this area, a profound reform of the Way of life and of the collective representations would be necessary.
