Almost entire Germany will stop

The farmers did so on the first day of protests against the government's plans to phase out agricultural subsidies.

State services expressed concern about this and called this protest the largest in post-war history. It is feared that from early morning almost no part of the state will function normally.

According to the police, in North Rhine-Westphalia, there are traffic disturbances caused by the protests, especially between Geldern and the Alps. Farmers and truck drivers are meeting all over the province to start slow-moving convoys.
Police in Ludwigsburg appealed to protesting farmers not to disrupt winter services so that the roads could be cleared and sprinkled.
"In the district of Boblingen, there are especially many tractors on the highway. Winter service vehicles are sometimes difficult to work there," said the police spokesman, "Blid" reports.
In Oyten in Lower Saxony, the entire traffic junction was blocked, resulting in traffic chaos. Some drivers tried to avoid the farm machinery by using sidewalks or traffic islands. Resourceful peasants, for their part, got out of the way with tractors and blocked the roads.
One driver was so annoyed that he simply parked his car on the road at the edge of the intersection and walked to his workplace.
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, farmers blocked highway entrances with hundreds of tractors. They were supported by shipping companies protesting the increase in truck tolls. In the Kloppenburg district in northwestern Lower Saxony, the federal highway was blocked by 40 vehicles.
In Saxony, according to police, some motorway entrances in the Dresden area were unusable.
