Risky business
OPINION: In the same way that even a stopped clock is right twice a day, economists sometimes get it right.
In France, many of that country's arable farmers use the River Seine to transport grain by barge.
However, the organisers of this year's summer Olympic Games want to use the river for water sports and therefore have made a request that farmers "delay their harvest" this year.
Now while some people may think that farmers are God, not even they can suspend the natural process of when a crop is ready to harvest!
It seems that bureaucratic stupidity is an international disease and when it comes to regulations and farming.
