Migrant Farmers. The Case of the Cher Department.
The present migration of farmers, however marginal in the context of the general economic evolution, appears highly indicative both of the general mobility which is a feature of our socio-economic system and of the demand in land.
The farming structures of the Cher department favour those who have migrated because of land shortage or breaking of lease. The migrants, arriving in three successive waves, settled on mediocre lands; but they have considerably speeded up the evolution of grain farming and the redesigning of land plots, without always succeeding as well as they had hoped. The capacity to improve the soil and the success of the whole venture depend on a satisfactory financial solution to the tenure problem (long term rents, or possibility of buying without running into too heavy a debt). The migrants, who come mostly from near-by Beauce and from expropriated urban zones, contribute to the integration of this southern fringe of the Bassin Parisien into the zone of intensive cultivation in the North-West European country lands.
