Saturday evening, just before the storm, farmer Jean-François Remacle, from the Ferme du Haya in Ocquier, decided to go and harvest one of his fields located 800 meters from his farm, a field of rapeseed lost in the middle of the countryside, along an unfrequented land consolidation path.
On a stretch of 200 meters
What was his surprise, when launching his machine on his land, to discover several bottles of Pineau des Charentes on the ground. “And as I advanced in the harvest, there were more and more of them. At three, in one hour, we picked up 67, all the same, on a stretch of 200 meters. Probably the The work of a single person, a regular, who comes here in a car and throws them away as he drives. There are very old, damaged ones, but also recent ones. The author must probably throw away one or two a week. “
The farmer had already noticed a few “corpses” here and there. “But as the rapeseed grew well and hid them, we did not imagine the extent of the incivility…” As you can imagine, the situation pisses off the Clavierois who observes more and more deposits and rubbish dumped in the agricultural land. “I regularly find cans and plastic bags filled with waste. But this, really, is the pinnacle!”
To mark the occasion and raise public awareness, Jean-François displayed the 67 bottles, neatly aligned, along the field and posted his photos on social networks. “A kind of hunting board”, he smiles. But behind the hint of humor, there is also anger. “It’s shameful, it’s really ugly, it’s infuriating.”
The environmental police warned
And he does not intend to stop there: he will warn the environmental police and the detective agent, hoping that an investigation will be carried out in order to find the author, “even if the chances of trapping him are slim”.
The farmer would like to react but he doesn’t know how… He thinks regarding putting up a warning sign along his field. “But I’m afraid the author is just going to throw his bottles somewhere else.” Place one of the Commune’s surveillance cameras in this place intended to fight once morest incivility? “Not sure it’s doable.” Or, as in certain municipalities near Marche, prohibit the circulation of vehicles on land consolidation paths, which are conducive to illegal dumping because they are often isolated places? “Maybe it’s a lead…”
