Tractorcades Hit New Mexico Across Albuquerque and Deming
Angry farmers staged tractor parades in Albuquerque and Deming as part of a nationwide agricultural strike planned for the weekend. The demonstrations featured a mile-long parade with about 70 tractors and 120 farm vehicles in Albuquerque and 36 tractors in Deming. They carried signs like Hell no, We won't grow and urged higher farm prices with 100 percent parity to balance costs. Farmers argued the plan targets consumers, not households, and aim to show who profits in the agricultural chain.
