They are protesting against the fall in wages for farmers and the fact that there have been no new figures for the industry. – It is important that we can negotiate on the right basis of numbers before the negotiations, says leader of the Rørosbygdenes Bondelag, Arne Jørgen Melien to news. Farmers from Røros, Holtålen, Tolga and Os will take part in the marking, and around 30 tractors came.

Støre didn’t come on the plane they thought he was going, so they didn’t get the chance to talk to him either. – It’s a shame, it was a good mark. Otherwise, it shows that we are second when we stand together in agriculture, says Melien. The Prime Minister is going to Røros to participate in the cultural event Rørosmartnan, which starts on Tuesday. – Patience about to run out – The government has promised in the Hurdalsplattformen that we will have an income like others and correct figures, but nothing has happened and therefore there is unrest in the industry. That’s what the Småbrukarlaget, Tor Jacob Solberg, says. – Now we have spoken clearly in a proper way and no one has been able to prove that what we say is wrong, he says. – But now patience is running out. That is why there is action in Røros and elsewhere. We have not wanted actions, we want respect and the correct numerical basis.
