Farmers get fucked so hard by governments

@Jeremy The Netherlands is small and very, very fertile. Not much that can go wrong there.

US farming subsidies need to stop

plz & thnx

But the government is using new EU pushed 'anti nitrogen' laws to try and finish off the entire sector, pushing **literal foreign policy** over **democratic policy**

but what is new

On the bright side if the US is allowed to farm properly again we might be able to export to make up for it

Likewise is a large portion of the US, DevilTongue, especially as you go further East, where the agricultural supply-chain should be predominantly located, but it isn't due to subsidies, meaning allocative and productive efficiency is lost, costing us more to produce a given amount than otherwise would.

What's wrong with nitrogen

In the US we destroy huge amounts of food and pay people to not farm to keep food prices artificially high

It's the long-term consequence of subsidies, and it'll take shape in many ways beyond mere environmental production factors.

That supply issue is also a serious factor

Right, @Hexidecimark.

This is what happens when you try and keep up the hustle even though you're sick and your throat's already hurt. Gg beanie man

Basically, the market is trying as hard as it can to make people form logically

Because a specific type of Nitrogen produced by cows, cars and everything else communists hate, can 'apparently' land on the ground and 'harm' our biodiversity.

***Litteral fucking identiy politics for plants.***

It results in surplus production in the tons, each day, which all goes to the waste, @Hexidecimark.

And the government is trying as hard as it can to stop that logical outcome from happening

Funny how Socialists and Communists criticize our farming industry, as if it's capitalism to be blamed for surplus production.

Everything but the communist is to blame, always, according to the communist.

Anyway, fucking **FRIESLAND** was one of the first provinces to say fuck off to the government after mass farmer protests. God bless those pagan semi-vikings.

The nitrogen laws have irrelevant justification

On the other hand, we first started subsidizing agriculture during WWI, and it is beneficial only for a temporary basis during war to stave off shortages, which I agree with as an emergency scenario, but not on a permanent basis.

What they do is make one of the most crucial plant nutrients almost impossible to use as fertilizer

But as Reagan once said, the closest you'll get to immortality is a government program.

pure nitrogen/nitrate is pretty corrosive

The big three ingredients to make a plant are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium

To sargon who said the pound was doing great
I think he should have looked at a trading account not a fucking fake news site

Ive gotten chemical burns from handling nitrate before

It is a non-issue anyway, because nitrogen output has been steadily declining. But a weird fucking hippie (no joke) has been taking everyone and everything to court in an attempt to kill the farming industry and because of some bureacratic non-issue the commie judges proclaimed he was correct and now the left uses that to pretend there is an actually issue while backed by the EU.

***Traitorous commies working with a foreign power to try and overthrow the people, what is new?***

Sabotage.

@wave That's actually not doing so bad, quite good

Nitrogen specifically is a strange choice though

Targeting phosphorous would make more sense, unless you wanted to save the flower industries

Nitrogen levels have an inpact on biodiversity which is more heavily protected by laws in this country than it's own people are.

He said specifically like 5 times in his stream that the pound went up
