They raise their voices, they lash out at the Region and do not admit further wasting of time. Farmers and breeders in central Sardinia are asking for immediate interventions, a real prevention campaign in the fight against grasshoppers. “In my opinion, the land can still be plowed, at least for a few weeks: it is a pity that no one has provided us with the maps for plowing”, declares Sergio Sulas, Bolotana farmer and Copagri delegate for the grasshopper emergency. Giovanni Mureddu, a breeder and farmer from Fonnese who has been transplanted to Ottana for years, adds: “I proceeded independently and plowed my lands. So, if we wait for the Region we are fresh. To date we have not received even a cent of the infamous refreshments ”. Meanwhile, the leader of the League in the Regional Council, Pierluigi Saiu, addresses the Councilor of Agriculture, Gabriella Murgia. And he declares: "In the Fifth Commission immediately the data on the progress in the liquidation of refreshments to farms damaged by grasshoppers and on the prevention actions implemented by the Giunta".
