Tractors began arriving two miles south of the Capitol building as the sun rose Tuesday morning. State Rep. Jennifer Wortz, bundled up on a brisk morning, hopped on her grandmother's orange Allis-Chalmers tractor to lead a parade of tractors down Washington Avenue toward the Capitol.

The article from MLive discusses a tractor parade and rally held at the Michigan Capitol where farmers gathered to protest against what they perceive as burdensome regulations. Organized by the Michigan Farm Bureau, the event aimed to highlight the challenges farmers face due to state and federal regulations, which they argue are stifling agricultural operations. Participants, including farmers from various parts of Michigan, drove their tractors to Lansing to make a visual and symbolic statement about the weight of regulatory compliance on their livelihoods. The rally included speeches from farm leaders and legislators, focusing on the need for regulatory reform to support the agricultural sector, which is vital to Michigan's economy. The event also served as a platform to discuss specific issues like environmental regulations, labor laws, and the economic pressures from market competition.
