The drought is so severe that chestnut growers have seen their harvest cut in half. Much of this small crop is lost too: some nuts are dried out, others eaten by worms. Prices have gone up as a result. On Sunday, October 18, at the 34th departmental chestnut and marron prize fair in Beynat, a kilo of chestnuts sold for as much as €4.50.
