    Every time I try to look this up a get a variety of different answers. It seems like a lot of different protests using similar means.

    The two most common that seem to pop up are:

    1. Environmental protection laws. Farmers want to continue to burn fossil fuels, using pesticides, and dumping artificial fertilizers into the ground.

    2. Economic protection from foreigners. I found at least one case where a McDonald’s was the target because they allegedly were serving foreign-sourced beef
