Maybe they are more successful at getting farmers working together than Uk farmers.i went on fuel protest run on A11 in Norfolk probably 20 years ago.it was well supported but not much came of it.id imagine everyone who took part had their details recorded by the law.

Farmers start a conversation with the citizen during breakfast
On Thursday morning, 17 October, farmers had brought all sorts of food items to provide the citizens of The Hague with a breakfast. Breakfast is a good thing to alleviate the suffering of the farmers' protest. It seems to work.
A succession of stalls on which sandwiches, eggs, yogurt and milk are displayed; that is the eyecather along the Hofvijver in The Hague. Farmers who serve breakfast behind the stalls like to start a conversation with passers-by about Dutch agriculture.
The products come as much as possible from Dutch farmers, mostly from the local butcher, cheese farmer and fruit growers. Eggs are baked on site. At the other extreme, you can get hot shawarma sandwiches. With garlic sauce, for those who feel like it at 9 o'clock in the morning.
We haven't even had much trouble with tractors here in the city, but I really appreciate this

Can someone post a link to or explain what these nitrogen controls are that are being imposed on the farmers? What are the 18k construction projects that have been cancelled?

Would be appreciated, most articles are in Dutch and I just can’t get a handle on it.
