Stralsund in harvest fever: farmers celebrate nationwide Thanksgiving!

The State Hernted Dedication Festival of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania took place in the picturesque Stralsund this year. This traditional celebration has a deep connection to the local farmers and symbolizes the return to nature and gratitude for the harvest. The event started on the old market in the morning and attracted numerous visitors who were enthusiastic about the products of the region and the celebrations.

The topic of this year's event was about the harvest and the associated challenges. After the festive service in the St. Nikolai church, the traditional parade started. The move was a visual spectacle because farmers and participants with artistically designed harvest crowns passed through the city. This tradition from ancient times stands for gratitude, but also for the connection of people to agriculture.

The farmers who took part in the celebrations have balanced their harvest. Particular attention was paid to the income of wheat and barley, which fortunately was above average. Despite this positive news, many farmers expressed their concern about the economic framework. They criticize that the political guidelines are not sufficient to cope with the challenges in agriculture. This raises questions about how the industry will continue to grow in the future and can operate sustainably.

The Hanseatic city of Stralsund, known for its maritime traditions and historical buildings, has played a central role as an event location. The country has over 7,200 hectares of meadows and fields, which are managed by around 50 tenants. This shows the close link between city and agriculture, which was particularly visible this weekend, as a citizen and visitors came together to celebrate the harvest.

While the festival is a reason for many, the discussion about the future challenges of farmers remains in mind. The mood of the celebrants was unbroken, but the view of the coming harvest time and the associated political decisions remains important for the region.

After a positive review of the harvest, the state harvest festival was not only a celebration, but also a platform for the exchange about the challenges with which agriculture is confronted. Further information on the events and balance sheets around the festival are Find at www.n-tv.de .
