Dear Friends and Partners of the Sahelian bocage network,
The month of August is aptly named in Mooré: Sa-sika-kiuugu (the month of falling rains). But this year, despite the regular rainfall, the amounts have been insufficient, and August has failed to make up for the shortfall from previous months. As a result, the cumulative rainfall recorded since the start of the season at the Guiè farm is below the average for the last sixteen years (2010–2025). However, the crops are currently at the tillering stage everywhere, and the environment provided by the hedgerows, along with our farming techniques, suggest a good harvest.

Yours, with ecological commitment
