Indeed, last August 13, two sunflower crops were totally destroyed in the Hérault by individuals claiming to be volunteer mowers.

While recalling that "the cultivation of VTH varieties is perfectly legal in France", the seed company specifies, in a statement, that the two parcels concerned did not contain any VTH.
