Hundreds of farmers in the Netherlands demonstrated today by blocking highways with their tractors. In Almelo, around 80 tractors stood still on the A35 causing a traffic jam. Police intervened to clear the highway. Simultaneously, farmers in Friesland blocked the N351 near Spanga with about 25 tractors. The protests are against the government's nitrogen plans and demand Minister of Agriculture Van Essen's withdrawal and retention of farmers' business permits.
