Dutch farmers, whose history of crop yields puts them among the most productive in the world, continue to protest rules that limit their use of nitrogen, a nutrient in commercial fertilizers that converts to nitrous oxide, which is feared as a greenhouse gas. Officials expected them to cut use 50% nationally, which means in some regions, the reductions will be as high as 95%.
The crippled farmers, their survival under attack, are, as they should be, revolting. Wytse Sonnema of the Netherlands Agriculture and Horticulture Organization told the Australian media:
"Imagine if you're a fifth-generation farmer, living on your land, making a living, being part of the local community" and suddenly there is "basically no future, no future for farming, but also no future for the economic, social, cultural fabric of the countryside. There's a broad sense of frustration, of anger, even despair amongst farmers at the moment."But political officials don't care about the effects of their tyranny. They're too dedicated to demonstrating before the world their great green cred.
Don't think that it can't happen here.
Canada, which exports tens of billions of dollars of agricultural products to the U.S. every year and is, unfortunately, "led" by boy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, plans to force nitrogen cuts that will "decimate Canadian farming." And also don't think such a truly rancid idea won't easily make it across the border to Washington and blue state capitals itching to put more restrictions on an ostensibly free people to carry out their eco-madness.
Comment: Brave of this man to speak out about his experience. The rabid trans community is vicious in its dealings with anyone who goes against its ideology
