As a hobby farmer I loved this article! (I was able to take notes of the key agricultural terms.) Thank you for honoring the rich legacy of French agriculture. That nation has not forgotten the importance of agriculture and its place in the nation's history. As a descendant of French-Canadian farmers who came from Perche in Bretagne and settled down to farm cerca 1645 in Batiscan, I love to learn about French farming techniques. If you find any more articles on this subject, I'd love to read them!
"Le Salon International de l'Agriculture" has been shared to the blog from the French reading practice section of the learning library where you can find a large selection of interactive texts to help you with your reading skills. This article also has audio for you to practice your French listening skills; you can find many more listening activities in the French listening exercises section.
The annual Salon International de l’Agriculture is the largest French agricultural event of the year. Listen to the audio files then scroll down for the bilingual reader, where you can click any phrase for the English translation and related grammar lessons.
