Weather hits wheat crop

Switzerland has had the lowest wheat harvest for the last 25 years.

Heavy rain and lack of sunlight is being blamed. 

The weather has also reduced the quality of the crops -so much f it will have to be sold as animal feed.

This means that this country will not be self-sufficient in grain, especially for bread making. 

The umbrella organisation Swiss Granum, has applied to the government to increase the amount it can import by 60,000 tonnes.
