This year’s summer tour of the Lower Austrian Farmers’ Association opened the LK Vice President Andrea Wagner with a courtyard discussion in Oberndorf on Melk (Scheibbs district). Current challenges such as crop protection, animal husbandry, the future of common agricultural policy (GAP) and the farmers’ association for fair import standards were at the center of the discussions.
Wagner emphasized the importance of not only the state and federal level, but also in Brussels, but also to be represented in Brussels: “We are calling for fair import standards to EU-wide, because our farmers are not allowed to compete against products that have been generated under conditions that have long been banned from us. Those who want to deliver to Europe must also stick to our standards, respect our work and to protect the environment, animal welfare and consumers. “
The court talks of the Lower Austrian Farmers’ Association are the start of the largest political summer tour in Lower Austria. Several stations are held in all districts in which state and federal politicians come into conversation with the members. Current challenges, structural framework conditions and regional concerns are discussed. On a small scale, but with great effect. “This personal closeness makes the difference,” said Lower Austria Farmership Director Paul Nemecek.
“We listen, we take up, and we bring the hearing into our political work – that is our claim. The concerns of the rural families are not statistics for us, but daily mandate. That we deliberately go to our members on the farms: We are not an organization at the country. This anchorage in rural areas makes us strong and successful. Thanks to our officials and the countless volunteers and the countless volunteers. Members who are active for the Lower Austrian Bauernbund. “
