I am against what the Dutch government is trying to do.
However, it's more complicated than that. The problem is that the Dutch farmers have large cattle herds and they are a major beef producer for the E.U.. There is a lot of waste runoff into the local waterways. It's causing fish die-offs, algae blooms and other environmental problems.
The solution is NOT to get rid of the cattle, or to punish the farmers. The solution is to revise the cattle ranches and collect all of that nice, nitrogen rich organic fertilizer and then use it to grow organic crops elsewhere. That solution enables you to grow even MORE food, while controlling the problem.

Run off and pollution of waterways is a real environmental concern. The articles I have read are about 'nitrogen' causing climate change.
Guardian's article muddies the waters between water pollution and climate change and implies they are the same thing:
Livestock produce manure which, when mixed with urine, releases ammonia, a nitrogen compound. If it gets into lakes and streams via farm runoff, excessive nitrogen can damage sensitive natural habitats by, for example, encouraging algae blooms that deplete oxygen in surface waters.
The Netherlands has one of Europe’s largest livestock industries, with more than 100m million cattle, chickens and pigs. It is also the EU’s biggest meat exporter.
“We are a relatively small country with a lot of inhabitants, industry, transport and agriculture, so we are reaching the limits of what nature can take,” said Rudi Buis, a spokesperson for the agriculture ministry. “There is a high level of urgency for us to tackle the nitrogen compounds problem. This means that in the near future, choices must be made.”
But the idea of expropriation, or forced sale, due to the climate crisis, is politically controversial in a country where, six months after the general election, multiple parties are trying to form a minority government.
There have been a lot of changes to the husbandry companies in NL over the past 40 years, including the issue of nitrogen run off in water ways ....
However, there is a difference between NL and a lot of other countries.
NL is below sea level for a major part and flat as a pancake.
there are hardly any animals in the fields.
and if, then it is limited
The nitrogen run off happened indeed in certain area when I was young. Reitdiep was green, instead of grey blue. Now it is.
This goes for the Rhine, and other rivers.
Dutch farmers have invested a lot of money to meet strickter and strickter criteria.
And now the cronies in the Junta in The Hague want to hoax the people yet another time, just so they can build 1.000.000 homes to house the mass-immigration consequences THEY created, while destroying any political opposition of their plans by abrogating the plebiscite?
And while holding hands and singing kumbaya with the big banks, so these folks can start looking at farmers and consider whether or not their business has a chance of surviving the rules the asshats devise?
And while the left hand approves DSM to flood the Maas River with micro-plastics ...
A hoax is a hoax and sometimes .... once every 170 years or so, these asshats get hanged. O wait .....
1300 -> 1581 = 280
1581 -> 1648: a lot of killing.
1648 -> 1780 = 140
1780 -> 1814: a lot of killing.
1814 -> 1939: = 133
1939 -> 1945 = a lot of killing.
1945 -> 2022 = 77
Times a running short ....
added: of course the typical response: Attack on our democracy! These people need to be punished most severely (Green LEFTY asscunt: Jesse Klaver). So, yes, they are closing ranks.
Farmers, right wing extremist and unvaxxed. All lumped together. My guess is: a new lockdown is coming.
The Khazarian Mafia is desperately trying to start a global famine.
Bravo to the farmers standing up to this insane diabolical agenda!
The government's plan is senseless.
Our atmosphere is 78% nitrogen.
Sounds like they are bored with carbon dioxide and now we are supposed to be cowering in fear about N20 (nitrious oxide)

In reality they are just trying to eliminate our food sources, so they have more control over us.
I absolutely despise these Klaus Schwab types behind all this crap.
