The Saxon State Farmers' Association is calling on the new federal government to make targeted investments in agriculture to maintain competitiveness. "We are calling for clear framework conditions and sustainable funding so that agriculture remains a pillar of our society in the future," said Torsten Krawczyk, President of the SLB, at the Farmers' Day in Weinböhla.
He called for fair treatment of agriculture in the coalition negotiations between the CDU and SPD for a new federal government. Although it had been possible to retain agricultural diesel benefits, a large proportion of this money was at risk of being used for wage increases due to the minimum wage.
