Well hello there. It seems the majority of forum users are from the states. There's always a 4 hour time difference. But i'm glad to see there's a lot of knowledge here..
Welcome to your new addiction! :) You will find a LOT of very knowledgeable people here that can help you get up and running if you have questions--- but do LOTS of reading first. Now, I have a question for you-- very OFF topic and non-camera related...

Is your government going to leave your farmers alone-- or is there going to be a worse problem there? (My home state is all about agriculture-- wheat, corn (& ethanol), soybeans, beef, dairy, and pork). Very disturbing to see the way your farmers are being treated.

I'm afraid not. My government wants to "buy them out". Any agricultural business that's in close proximity of protected forests will be given 120% of what that business is worth.
Farms that doesn't reside next to woodland are give 100% of what their farms are worth. They will be given more time ( I believe 2 or 3 years) to make up their minds. But for now many farmers will keep their farms. They're usually farms that will pass from father to son. All about traditions. Many won't budge to the government rules.
And i totally agree with them.
It's just a f****ing shame that my government wants to impose these rules.
Some time ago many farmers were protesting. Now it's a little bit quiter, since the farmers are contemplating their fate. Only last week the bakers were on strike. No bread in the supermarket.
It almost looked like the Sovjet union in the 80's and 90's.
But i'm afraid the dutch landscape will look very different in the next 10 years or so.

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure the pros here can help you with any issue you may be having.

I haven't been following what the Dutch government is doing with regards to the farmland but I will look into it. I'm an expat Canadian who lives in Cuba. Many are surprised to find that the government has been liberalizing the economy after over 60 years of a socialist, centrally-planned economy. An economy that never let the largest island in the Caribbean reach its full production potential. There has been a push for more national production, particularly in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Hopefully, the Dutch government realizes its errors and is able to correct it. It's a strange world!

Am afraid not. The main reason they want them gone is because of the amount of NOx (nitrogen oxides) they produce, but many say the measuring method isn't correct in a way that heavy industries and airports are omitted.
I live in a place with many farms around and also close to one of those 'sacred' Natura2000 areas, so there's a lot of tension all around.

As soon as they're gone we'd have to import food from other countries which are way less strict on farming rules already.
