De aardappeloogst in West-Zeeuws-Vlaanderen en Walcheren is door de hevige regenval van de laatste weken mislukt. Die uitspraak durft loonwerker David de Looff uit Nieuw- en Sint Joosland aan.
Ook in de andere Zeeuwse regio's wordt van een rampzalig jaar gesproken. "Het is triest voor de boeren. De aardappels zijn prachtig, maar de rooimachines kunnen het land niet op", zegt De Looff.
De machines blijven steken in de verzadigde klei.
