German farmers on about 200 tractors paralyzed traffic for several hours on a highway to Stuttgart, the capital of southwest Germany's Baden-Wuerttemberg state, where they are expected to rally later on Tuesday, German news agency DPA reported, citing police.
The traffic jam occurred on the section of the A81 road between the towns of Sulz and Empfingen and was cleared with police involvement, the news agency said.
The farmers headed onward to Stuttgart, where more than 2,000 tractors are expected by 1 p.m. local time (12:00 GMT) for a demonstration against the abolition of subsidies, the report read. Traffic jams can also be seen at the entrances to the city, DPA added.
