Saint-Brais, May 4, 2016, Portrait of Christophe Farine – Saint-Brais (JU), To improve the comfort of his cows, facilitate his work, and comply with farming standards to avoid being penalized on his direct payments, Christophe Farine built a new barn. Even though he loves his job, dairy farming involves many hours of work that are no longer fairly compensated. So, to supplement his income, twice a week, Christophe Farine conducts quality control checks on milk from producers in the region. © Mathieu Rod
