Police warn of potential traffic disruptions during the Sternfahrt, with possible traffic jams during peak hours.

The backdrop is a sustained period of historically low butter prices driven by low world milk prices, higher milk volumes in dairies, and higher fat content, which together push retail butter prices down.

Protest organizers point to price competition in supermarkets, noting a recent German discount on butter—250-gram packages of a German brand now selling for about 99 cents due to low milk prices and ample dairy supply.

Farmers in Baden-Württemberg are staging a peaceful protest against Lidl, using butter prices and other dairy products as symbols of broader cost pressures on farms.

Coverage from regional outlets situates the protests within broader Niedersachsen news coverage and related digests.

Related program segments indicate this is part of a wider Niedersachsen news roundup rather than a standalone feature.

The protest is organized under Land schafft Verbindung, with about 150 vehicles and a visible presence of tractors, tents, and bonfires.

Organizers expect up to 500 tractors from across Baden-Württemberg for a prolonged vigil that runs through Tuesday afternoon, including multiple rallies.

There has been direct dialogue between protesters and the head of a central warehouse during the assembly.

Demonstrators await a planned meeting between the national farmers’ association and Lidl’s management to determine whether to escalate protests.

LSV representatives communicate concerns about market dominance and farmer vulnerability, with coverage from local media.
