Dear Herma, there is less grass in the ration due to a dry summer, don't let this pias fool you
first take a look 27 September 2018
The 30% less maize... is still on the land or has just been finished. So far I have been fed from the corn yield of 2017..... what a story but a story does not have to be true as long as it is beautiful.

they really don't understand that a ration is calculated in most cases. we are not going to feed more than 16% crude protein just for fun, less maize in the ration means more energy-rich/lower-protein concentrates.

what a nonsense!

Now apply some nitrogen to it.....
an uncritical interviewer on this video who really has no idea what this is about.

we are now milking far fewer cows in the Netherlands than in 2015-2017, so nitrogen production has decreased in that regard.


but grow a little more corn again, I would say, everything in proportion.


let the polluting aviation industry contribute to the environmental problems first, I would say.

farmers pay better for the valuable food products consumers then a further contribution to the environment is possible from the agricultural sector I would say!



for farmers is now enough..... enough!
