Despite their small size, roughly as big as Maryland, the Netherlands are the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural products after the USA. EU rules aim to cut Nitrogen emissions by 50% by 2030, potentially putting 30% of Dutch cattle ranchers out of business.
Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element which makes up 78% of the atmosphere. It is not poisonous.
Canadian website Counter Signal wrote: “The World Economic Forum controlled Dutch government announced last week an end to modern farming – putting harsh controls on nitrogen, and spelling the end to thousands of family farms.
In response, Dutch farmers took a page out of the Canadian Freedom Convoy playbook. They took to the highways, blockaded borders, and launched massive protests.
So far, the global media has vilified the farmers, brushing aside their concerns with the New World Order-style policy, and propagating government lines.
Farmers are worried that this will is one step closer to a global food crisis and total government control of the food supply.”

UPDATE: Dutch MP Geert Wilders posted a letter from the government of Flevoland province stating that farm land confiscated in Nordoostpolder will be used for an asylum center:
Hier het bewijs. Het staat er gewoon. De boer moet wegwezen want ze willen op zijn grond een aanmeldcentrum voor asielzoekers bouwen.
Ze maken Nederland helemaal kapot. Onze boeren weg, de gelukzoekers erin. Raar hè dat mensen woest zijn. #boereninopstand #boeren pic.twitter.com/nIzp5bImBg
