Starting today in seventeen-odd cities of Germany....farmers are coming out in a protest movement called "Land Create Connection". Tractors will be on the streets, and traffic delays will be the norm of the day.
The key city mentioned? Bonn. They expect around 10,000 farm vehicles to be in that city alone.
So what's the aim? Well, there appears to be both EU and German regulation coming, which is pro-environmental in nature, but slams the common farmer in his current practices.
The key talk is that all this regulation is going to harm, or kill-off the traditional German family farm.
An active push-back against the environmental gains? Yes. I might go and suggest that this is simply the first of many farm-type protests to be seen, and affects the traffic flow into major urbanized zones.
