Around 180 guests attended the “Agricultural Evening” in Aying.
They encouraged each other to continue to stick together.
Aying
– Gstanzl singer Hubert “Erdäpfekraut” Mittermeier moves smoothly through the rows of tables, always looking for “victims” among the guests, to whom he then dedicates nasty verses, humorous, hearty and always off the cuff.
Hairstyle, clothing... Mittermeier always finds something that stimulates him when it comes to mocking situations, but at least: never below the belt.
In between, the Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn brass band, conducted by Konrad Sepp, plays an interplay in three-quarter time.
“I’ve been doing this for 46 years now,” says Hubert Mittermeier.
He is considered a master of the Gstanzl subject.
It is not for nothing that the Munich Farmers' Association booked him for the “Agriculture Evening” in the Ayiner Sixthof Stadl.
District chairman Stürzer: “We want to sit together here in a relaxed atmosphere”
The social event is a premiere.
A successful one: around 180 guests came on Saturday evening, including the Ayings town hall boss Peter Wagner (CSU).
He sits rather inconspicuously at a table on the edge of the action.
Anton Stürzer is not interested in being inconspicuous.
The district chairman is visibly in a good mood.
“We want to sit together here in a relaxed atmosphere”, without topics like “regional reform and so on,” he greets those present.
Spending time together was the aim of district chairman Anton Stürzer at the Agriculture Evening.

February 2nd, or Candlemas, was not chosen by chance as a date, as it celebrates the light that ward off evil and death and promises prosperity.
This sums up the situation of farmers quite well.
And of course it doesn't work without “evils”, the impression of warning fires and blocked motorway entrances is simply too fresh.
Which is why Stürzer thanks “the press” for the reporting in the last few weeks, which he interprets as support for his guild.
DEHOGA President Inselkammer calls for cooperation between agriculture and gastronomy
It's also important to forge alliances these days: Angela Inselkammer, managing director of the Hotel Aying brewery and president of the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association, praises the cooperation between agriculture and catering, she was "impressed by the demonstrations" and immediately Known: “We have to support that!” Because, says Inselkammer: “We belong together, the catering industry sells the products produced by the farmers.” She hopes that the rallies have the desired success.
Collaboration specifically: The menu here includes, among other things, “Bavarian sausage salad” and “Ayinger Bierbratl”.

No question, the “Evening of Agriculture” is something like a breather from the demos and from everyday life.
At least for almost everyone.
Martin Stadler from Peiß, for example, has to leave the restaurant early.
Cell phone alert, his milking robot isn't working as it should.

Time marked by uncertainties
There are strips of paper on the tables: “It's great that we're spending time together.” If you ask, farmers are spending a lot of time in uncertainty.
Roman Loidl from Niederseeon am Steinsee describes the situation in his profession something like this: “If you are told that tomorrow there will only be pencils and no ballpoint pens, you will probably buy 100 more ballpoint pens today.
And a few days later they say: That wasn't such a good idea with the pencils.” Set aside land of four percent?
“That may mean four percent less income.” And anyway: hardly anyone talks about everyday surface sealing, says Loidl.
According to the Federal Nature Conservation Association, a good ten hectares are used every day in Bavaria.
But Loidl also says sentences like: “Agriculture is pushing back nature.”
Peter Riedl from Faistenhaar is certain that the demos are far from over.
“It has to go on now, otherwise everything would have been in vain.”
