Argentine farm leader Alfredo De Angeli (C, bottom) sits with other demonstrators to block a road, while Argentine border policemen stand aside, on the outskirts of Gualeguaychu, some 240 km (150 miles) north of Buenos Aires, May 29, 2008. The Argentine government modified on Thursday its controversial grains export tax regime, making more small producers eligible for rebates and also lowering the tax rate when soy prices rise above $600 per tonne. A new tax on hugely profitable soy angered farmers, who have held three massive protests in less than three months, causing a political crisis for President Cristina Fernandez.
