“We can’t stop”: how mobilized farmers continue to keep their farms running

Organic dairy farmer, based near Beauvais (Oise), Michael Mos has been participating “since the first day” in blocking the A16 motorway. “I was in the two lead tractors on Tuesday, when we returned to the highway,” he claims. Since then, he has spent all his nights there, and a good part of his days. But he is forced to leave for a few hours a day, very early in the morning and late in the afternoon, to take care of his cows. “We cannot forget our job,” insists the young 35-year-old farmer, who takes care of his farm alone. We would like to strike, but we cannot stop, not even for a few days, otherwise it will be a disaster.”
