In Greece, farmers will continue their protests against the government. Farm leaders met with the Greek prime minister Tuesday and offered farmers a two-year break on energy costs. That wasn’t enough to satisfy the demands of the farmers in the meeting. The farmers said they will continue their demonstrations, including the blocking of major highways. These protests are happening throughout Europe with farmers upset over rising energy costs, lower commodity prices and increased competition in global markets.
