Fact Check: No, this is not a rehearsal by protesting farmers for January 26 tractor rally
The video in question is from a charity event held in Germany in December 2020 and has been circulating on social media even before farmers announced the tractor rally.

AFWA has found that the video along with the claim is misleading.
Thousands of farmers protesting against the three new agriculture laws had earlier this month announced that they ll hold a tractor rally on January 26, India s Republic Day, to further intensify the agitation. Some of the farmers also took part in tractor rallies on expressways surrounding Delhi on January 7, calling it a rehearsal ahead of the main event.

A Yorkshire farmer is raising thousands of pounds for charity after installing a farming inspired festive exhibition outside his own home.
Thousands of Christmassy LED lights adorn Andrew Wilkinson s home near Pocklington, in East Yorkshire.
He has created a replica of a John Deere 6155m and a Landrover Defender in memory of his father David, who sadly died of cancer in 2006.
The impressive festive display, which has been installed every year since 2016, aims to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
