guess they have been working on the border of bankruptcy for years and now should be forced to further reduce nitrogen usage.
which of course would be a good thing. i suppose most farmers would be happy to transform to sustainable methods. only they know it will end like every time, farmers paying the consequences for those laws out of their own pockets.
@freemo i fear that the government will do a trudeau and just ruin every farmer out of spite.
i really don't get how most western politicians can be so removed from reality that they constantly want to disenfranchise their farmers. it's the single most stupid thing you can do.
