The tragic situation of the European farmers is a by-product of the EU elites’ obsession with their ‘Net-zero’ fantasies, leading them to impose a whole host of crippling, failed agricultural policies, making farming in Europe difficult and expensive.
Of course, these same heartless elites are more than happy to turn around and negotiate a free-trade agreement with South American countries that have great, much cheaper agricultural produce since in Mercosur there is no equivalent ‘green’ legislation.
So now European farmers are on a war footing.

The report by The Telegraph has an interesting aspect in which French farmers are ready to help their British counterparts.
Serge Bousquet-Chassagne, Coordination Rurale union:
“’I’m prepared to receive my British farmer colleagues or to travel over there to lend a hand’, he said. ‘We have a lot of form when it comes to more radical forms of protest. We’re all in the same boat’.
Thousands of British farmers are expected to march on Westminster on Tuesday against the Government’s plans to impose inheritance tax on farms worth more than £1 million.”

British organizers have hinted action may increase if the government does not change course.
Bousquet-Chassagne, plum and cereal farmer:
‘We’re drowning under a sea of norms that make no sense and that are supposed to make us produce better. But in my view soon we won’t produce better, we won’t produce anything at all!’ he said.
He praised the UK for leaving the EU. ‘The British are our faithful allies and we admire your decision to leave the European Union, which is partly to blame for our woes’.

Literally. French farmers, like their German counterparts, are also fed up with crippling, globalist policies in the name of curbing climate change.
