” What happened here last week, it can certainly be labeled to disaster, “said LLTB chairman Leon Faassen. “And it is not over yet because it is still raining. Many entrepreneurs need help to save their business, otherwise they literally go under.”
Extreme storms with hail stones the size of tennis balls made late last week for a wave of destruction in the region, already the whole month is facing flooding. Many stables and greenhouses is almost no roof part more completely and many crops are to waste away in the water saturated fields.
Someren
The storm has a lot more damage than hitherto thought, reported the farmer organizations earlier in the day. Alone in Someren, near Eindhoven, the costs incurred by farmers and gardeners are estimated at half a billion euros. Earlier ZLTO estimated the damage throughout Brabant at least 100 million euros.
agricultural insurance has been entered in claims for about 130 million euros, according to the Association of Insurers of farms in particular, Limburg North Brabant. In this first estimate of the umbrella organization for private damage are not included.
Bankrupt
The problem is that many of the affected businesses have not properly insured against this massive violence again. Therefore, farmers want the government also finances the restoration work. It is feared that possible multiple companies will go bankrupt without financial assistance from The Hague or Brussels.
The farmers’ organizations are also in talks with the water boards about how the water can be discharged better in the future. And talks with banks about possible bridging loans for affected farmers
I can well imagine that this requirement, but our government has its own interests and those going for. Farmers are farmers but for the highly educated, right?

Hello, this is the risk of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs want everything, especially at the expense of chronically ill. No such chronically ill do not pay with it, pay it myself I should too. I can barely pay my medical expenses, you also find business owners do not mind, you’re sick, I often heard. So NO PAY YOURSELF.

Just business risk. No more. Nothing any subsidies or other financial compensation to farmers. When my brother, a farmer, everyone has a virtually new car, five cars in total. And shouting that they need grants and support. Horticulture however, the farmers really do not. Who cheat things enough.

There is an insurance against such conditions. It was agreed by the government that there will not be reimbursed, but instead has to take out insurance with some government subsidie.dus as with any risk, the user can make a decision to do this or not to do .

Did once a farmer near Zundert! After years of summers or too wet or too had been dry, there was finally a perfect year! Good harvest and good prices! When I told him that he had NOTHING to complain this year, he looked at me with an insightful look into his eyes and said; “But the ground has had a lot to suffer!”

Hundreds of other companies, even vend, just went bankrupt . No government and they helped thousands of people were unemployed. Why farmers should have a special status? They are ordinary entrepreneurs who run a business risk. No exception, and certainly not a national disaster. enough food is produced there!

Business is about taking risks, they can insure themselves for it, is the same as not having fire insurance claim and still want to think so anyway.

Eh, I would not complain though, but that goes with the business ie business risk.! If it rains a week can I use my five bricklayers not to keep going but I need at the end of the week, indeed on their wages.! That is inherent in.! So farmers do not whine take your losses and move on. !!

I do not think people outside SE Brabant they realize how intense that had hailstorm. The Randstad Press has not really paid much attention to, somewhat explained by the coincidence with the Brexit. But just for the record, there were hailstones from 5 to 10 cm in diameter at full stroke rate down. Not one, but millions (!) Over a stretch of about 40 x 10 kilometer everyone (!) Damage.

Those farmers anyway. Landowners, capital modern houses and stables, latest agricultural equipment, heavy vehicles and often illegal immigrants for money. And now ask for money because it has rained?

you can assure you as a farmer to abundant rainfall, except for the insurance only pays out if there are more than 100 mm per day has fallen and you have done everything to prevent damage, the insurance will of no, they do not pay, so the two behind these days eg 90 mm is your crop to the sharks but insurance may not turn out! even if you were insured then you had gotten nothing. Insurers like to mention the damage but never mention the damage from paid

Hurricane, you have to insure your private counter. It is also an entrepreneurial risk. Of course sad that an entire crop may be lost. A National Disaster that is going too far. With climate change will fall even more rain in the future. Adjust water drains better and faster than the government can provide. No further financial support to farmers – other companies get this either.

If you can take out insurance as a farmer and you have not done that, it is a business risk. It would be very strange if farmers who have insured it, then it would have done for nothing, because the government pays anyway.

Close own personal insurance! In the years that there are no “national disaster” play, we hear about the payment of a slice of profits in favor of a “National Disaster fund for farmers”?
