Farmers' association draws successful protest successes. “We cannot prevent marginalized groups from getting on the tractor,” says the BBV boss.

The main target of the protests was and is the Greens. They even had to worry about their New Year's reception because farmers had protested there and the AfD had joined in. ‘It’s always called ‘the fringe’, but you have to see who they are,’ says the district chairman of the Bavarian Farmers’ Association.
