Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - The Hessian farmers want to protest against the new rules on insect and water protection in agriculture this Tuesday.
A position paper with the farmers' demands is to be handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture in Wiesbaden.
In order to emphasize their concerns, the farmers also want to come to the Hessian state capital with a tractor parade.
A few days ago, the federal cabinet passed a legislative package on insect protection.
According to this, the use of plant protection products in protected areas is to be severely restricted and in some cases prohibited.
The farmers' association, the initiative "Land creates connection Hessen" and the rural youth are the organizers of the protest in Wiesbaden.
