The farmers are best off with the CDA!
Michel Roger 28 February 2017
I go for CDA
Ben Cook 28 February 2017
Only a servant and party without ulterior motive gets my vote
and then I arrive at the SGP.
Iron 28 February 2017
I'm going for the CDA
We must go for a party that opts for Agri & Food and Countryside. The importance of our export, value on the economic contribution to the National greenhouse broadly supports! Countryside is a given that belongs to our country with a visiting citizen who loves it. The many new residents in the Rural Areas choose to live there! The expansion of cities and industrial areas has not been asked by the Agrarian Countryside either, but he has to accept THAT.
Henk van der Wielen 28 February 2017
The CDA is a safe and responsible choice.
Bastiaan Pike 28 February 2017
I don't think it is wise to choose the PVV. After all, they are for the compulsory grazing. And leaving the EU is also part of the party, so don't.
Personally, I vote VVD because the party has a lot of agriculture in the export
helped abroad.

Gerrit Braks has screwed us up and we're still not over that.
Thanks
Ric 28 February 2017
Sgp is unfortunately just a waste of your vote because they are too small. Vvd only pay attention to agriculture in Brussels with huitema, so this is of no use to you either. There just needs to be a farmer again, so CDA no. 44

Then there could be even more hopeless and corrupt countries, certainly in the Union. As a citizen and primary producer, this does not help me. Thank you very much for the CDA!
Add de Kort 28 February 2017
With https://www.cda.nl/geurts/, agriculture has an excellent advocate in the House of Representatives.
Helene 28 February 2017
It is important that someone from the sector is represented.
When I look at the lists, the rinse is very thin.
We have a dairy farm and I am going for a colleague.
Maurits von Martels CDA nr 44. I have heard that he needs 16000 preference votes. Are there still so many farmers?
Farmer Joop 28 February 2017
Always voted for the CDA but now The SGP Egbert Dijkgraaf will be a good agriculture minister Agriculture is now only being destroyed!

erik 28 February 2017
As a farmer, but especially arable farmer, I will not automatically vote for a livestock farmer. The interests are too far apart. This forum is also pointless, everyone makes his or her own choice!!
Kremer 28 February 2017
You can recommend the CDA, but remember that the CDA has a manure law, I advise FARMERS vote for SGP.
HBW 28 February 2017
Dear colleagues, My advice is also vote SGP!
A party you can rely on!!!

smart ass 28 February 2017
if we choose agriculture and decency CDA
if you choose something else then you won't have to whine that we don't have agricultural people,
with CDA we turn things back to the way it is
Danny 28 February 2017
was planning to vote SGP but have read interview Dijkgraaf SGP in Farm. there he also said he had no plan for dairy farming
that man fell through the ice.
Karin 28 February 2017
going to vote CDA for the first time in my life. And on Geurts
honest man
arda 28 February 2017
Albert Dijkgraaf
Finally a clear sound. Before the farmers.
"Sometimes you just want a little more SGP"
Shit No Problem ;-)
I vote SGP, absolutely!
largest grower in NL 28 February 2017
SGP or CU. Those are the most sensible parties. Also for non-church
AJ 28 February 2017
SGP gets my vote! Is the only party that really stands up for agriculture. With the general considerations, it was only the SGP that brought agriculture into the limelight.....
brook house 1 March 2017
My vote also goes to the SGP. Jaco Geurts also stands up for the farmers, but stands in a position that he has little or no influence on positions in formation. Consider indeed the fact that the CDA had no input whatsoever on agriculture with the latest general considerations. That says enough. Agriculture will also play no role for them in the formation, or at least be strongly subordinated. Let's not talk about anyone in position 44 at all. Please vote for a party that always stands up for agriculture, also through the party leader. Pierce those parties that now want to score quickly with the farmers. If the SGP comes into a key position, which is very conceivable with 4 or 5 seats, there is the greatest chance that the formation will have a positive translation towards agriculture.
Christen 1 March 2017
It is clear that most people who respond here prefer to go back to the Middle Ages. Long live the decline!
Paul 1 March 2017
SGP or CDA, both are very conceivable. Holding people up to the light is then appropriate. I doubt whether Jaco Geurts is able to counteract sufficiently in the room. Elbert Dijkgraaf is a man with more charisma. Always welcome in the jungle in The Hague.

I vote for something that has nothing to do with faith.
Politics and religion are too different.
I will go for the VVD, even if they have not done everything right for the sector.
John van de Brink 1 March 2017
I seem to remember that the CDA co-ruled for decades and during that time the decline of the agricultural sector and the unbridled regulation terror also took place. My vote goes to the SGP, Dijkgraaf would be an excellent minister FOR agriculture
kurush 1 March 2017
People THINK.
Jan 2 March 2017
CDA ???
Thank you.
They just messed everything up.
Better stay at home please.

Dear farmers (friends),

If there is 1 person who really has an eye for farmers, it is Elbert Dijkgraaf. This SGP person visits farmers every day. He not only visits them but also talks to them! I have been able to attend meetings and one thing is central to Elbert Dijkgraaf: the farmer!

Be sensible and vote for the farmer!
tuber country 3 March 2017
Jan is right the agricultural sector is not in good hands with the CDA.
L. Ackermann 3 March 2017
CDA city council Utrecht has otherwise ensured that the horse market had to go. And no other location was offered either. So horse and cattle traders were/are probably skeptical about the fact: CDA has a lot on the agricultural sector. Last EU elections Mrs Pierik voted CDA. Hear little of it. And in my opinion there is no longer a farmer in the 2nd chamber that supports the sector. And, for example, a Mrs Thieme shouts a ho.
I. Pimmelaar 3 March 2017
I vote CU YES yes and also for a woman. Basically

With a center left cabinet? Don't assume!

first ff call buma ministry of agriculture must come back with pierik on that post then he has my vote.
Farmer and outdoor people 4 March 2017
It is incomprehensible that the agricultural Netherlands still opts for more money for Brussels and less for its own sectors. Unfair competition from Ukraine, restrictions from Brussels on phosphate, jobs for their own political friends and export boycott to Russia, which is now mainly to the detriment of our exports and not Russia. With such policymakers, it would be better for us to abolish the agricultural sector ourselves. Maybe just vote PVV once?
Peter 5 March 2017
Agriculture in all its forms from greenhouse horticulture to tree nursery and from pig farming to fish farming - everything must in any case have a minister to represent that extensive sector - agriculture in all its forms is so incredibly important and for the country - the Netherlands can do very well become more and more self-sufficient and serve an excellent domestic market - and innovations and more, but ... the farmer (all disciplines) must always have a decent income from production and not work at cost price - consumers are in favor of a healthy agricultural sector
yes and now to find a decent party to vote...

Vote for change. The conventional parties have become a job carousel. Now everyone has an eye for the electorate, but on March 16 you have been forgotten. Everything for Brussels and each other. The Forum for Democracy offers an alternative in which there is more room for your and my opinion through referendums, less EU and bureaucracy and more facilitation.

referendums are disguised election promises whose results we can ignore. See here the ravings of so-called innovative parties.
Conny 6 March 2017
Farmer and outdoorsmen.
Totally agree with your advice. Vote PVV for a change, because if everything goes ahead, like now, we won't have to vote in 4 years. Parties such as DENK and Art.1 will then call the shots and simply take over our agricultural sector, with Erdogan's voice in the background. Be wise and vote for your own country while you still can. Ok the farming business will benefit from that!!!

After reading the story of a Mrs. Meuldijk's box in the telegraph, I vote Geert anyway, so I can at least look at it.

A vote for Trump, for Theresa AND for Geert's protest votes, but in the end they are right.
Farmers and buyers/suppliers are sponsors of the big grabs and after the voting booth they just forget you! We live in a society that is too lavish, too bad otherwise the farmer was more important.

It just doesn't matter what you vote for
Danny 12 March 2017
All vote for CDA member Geurts. We indicate that he should become the minister of agriculture.
stone farmer 13 March 2017
Vote CDA for the first time, GeertsVvd was a party for entrepreneurs, now it is an unreliable yuppies party that has nothing to do with agriculture
Anonymous 15 March 2017
CDA of course! PVV is a joke. They went along with the banning of mink in the Netherlands... Wilders does what suits him and what earns him votes. If that turns out to be negative for the farmers, it doesn't matter to him. As long as he gets his votes. As a farmer, you don't want to vote for that.
