The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung explains that with the price of grain falling and that of fuel oil rising, it is more cost - effective for a farmer to burn his wheat for heat than to sell it to buy oil.
Surat kabar Jerman, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, menjelaskan bahwa karena harga gandum merosot dan harga minyak menanjak, lebih ekonomis jika petani membakar gandumnya untuk mendapatkan panas ketimbang menjualnya untuk membeli minyak.
