Anyone that didn't know better would think that they are a bit miffed. having spent a lot of time in Holland it takes some doing to tick those folks off as much as their current globalist government is. They are the most laid back people on the planet as a rule. ya won't see pictures like this on CNN.

The Dutch government has decided to lower Nitrogen mentions amongst other things and put a tax on farm related ( emissions ) putting a whole lot of farmers out of business. Seeing that farm products are a major export market for Holland its a big blow to the country as a whole and the farmers are not happy about it. Rightly so I may add

Reducing the amount of nitrogen they can use on the fields, reductions of 30-70%.

Restricting the amount of livestock you can have as well. The prime minister is no where to be found.
If any one sees him. Let him know. The farmers want to talk

Government looking for a 30% reduction in emissions, choosing to have the farmers take the brunt of the restrictions while the rest of industrial production and transportation goes humming along, spewing garbage, on their merry way. Most of ag is small family farms, so this affects a whole lot of people and the government isn't willing at this point to have a meaningful conversation.
