Thatβs the big issue. Even if dutch farmers agree to implement costly measures to limit emissions and pollution, unless this is enforced EU wide, this will just drive them out of business and move the pollution problem somewhere else. And I do not really see this happening EU wide in any foreseeable future.
Ehm, I'm sorry. But the reason for these strict regulations are that you are one of the worst polluters. (Germany sucks too in this regard)

Dingdingding! We have a winner!
This is exactly the problem. Our farmers (or at least a portion of them) have gotten used to being allowed pretty much anything and are now finding out that wrecking the environment is actually not something which is allowed.
