BRUSSELS (AP) — Farmers threw beets, sprayed manure at police and set hay alight on Tuesday as hundreds of tractors again sealed off streets close to the European Union headquarters, where agriculture ministers sought to ease a crisis that has led to months of protests across the
The farmers protested what they see as excessive red tape and unfair trading practices as well as increased environmental measures and cheap imports from Ukraine.

Oh my, cowpies thrown in the faces of those who want us to eat bugs.
Spraying manure slurry is a nice touch.
The farmers should pump that liquified manure into the EU headquarters buildings until it spills out of the topmost windows.
“… agriculture ministers sought to ease a crisis”
LOL…the EU / WEF people are stealing farms everywhere, forcing production cuts, throwing farmers out of work, curtailing fertilizer use, artificially raising fossil fuel prices (BIG fossil energy in ag), telling us to eat less, and to devour big protein.
I wonder how this “crisis” started? There was no “crisis” when EU and WEF stayed in their lane, but, no, tyrants gotta be tyrannical.
This is the way.
Centralize and control agriculture production said Joe Stalin.
Why beets? They should be throwing brussellsprouts.
Belgium is a nice looking country but those people can’t drive worth a darn. Luxembourg looks more like a Country Club than a country, amazing. I think it still has the highest per-capita income, which I assume is due to it being a world banking center.
I was in Luxembourg City on New Year’s Eve in a huge crowd and it felt perfectly safe, no misbehavior at all, just thousands of happy people. Tiny Luxembourg also has over 300 monuments to Allied soldiers, by the way. I was present for color guard ceremonies at some. Watched old men and women crying over American soldiers, unforgettable.
THAT looks much more efficient than the manure spreader I grew up with.
this could be a fantastic opportunity to get rid of Brussel Sprouts
I’ll eat them, with some butter over them...Yummy!
Go Farmers!
Patton is buried in Luxembourg.
Well then instead of brussel sprouts they could use fresh choice’s rock- hard avacados as artillery shells
They had thought they had won earlier but they hadn’t. The Euro Fascists wanted to reduce fertilizer use by 50% but relented after the protests. However, they contacted the Obama/Biden Fascist government and had them reduce the amount of LNG being shipped to Europe which is used to make fertilizer. So fertilizer will be reduced by 50% because the US fascists have stopped LNG.
“Patton is buried in Luxembourg.”
Yes, along with 5 or 7 thousand others, can’t remember. Attended a ceremony there for American veterans, his granddaughter was there, she laid a wreath on his grave and then we (My dad and I) attended a dinner and she spoke and interacted with the vets there, giving them all the “card” that Patton had given out with a copy of the prayer he
credited with stopping the rain so the Allies could advance. My dad still had his card, showed it to her and she was shocked to see it.
