#1 Insanity...the race is on to see what kills them first - bitter cold or starvation

#2 The land becomes worthless - gets purchased cheap by Bill Gates or other billionaire tyrant - now he owns the food instead of us. And food is the most terrifying weapon in the world. We need a constant supply of it and any interruption will turn us into slaves to anyone who has it.

When you need to kill large numbers of people, famine is the best weapon there is. Accept no substitutes.

#4 One can only surmise that EU leaders want a famine. It would be a crisis, of course, and we all know how these people love to exploit crises.

#5 Everybody (who matters) knows food comes from stores. Just as it's flicking the switch that powers the lights.

#6 This has nothing to do with climate change. NRW has too much nitrate in its drinking water, often more than 50 milligrams per liter. This toxicity limit was set by the EU for drinking water and groundwater because nitrate turns into nitrite in the body and poses an acute health risk. The threshold value is based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).

#8 That's interesting EC. Thanks.

I used to live in a community with similar drinking water issues. Formerly mostly farm land, it transformed into a bedroom town that used ground water for drinking and septic for waste. It finally built a sewer system a few years ago.

#9 So just trundle your John Deere and spreader down to city hall and hit the ‘go’ button.
Old farm joke: while John Deere warrants all their products, they refuse to stand behind their manure spreader…..

#11 The fertilizer we're talking about is mostly pig manure (Gülle). Too much of it is a problem and due to mass animal farming there is too much of it.

#12 There are problems like that at Grand Lake St. Marys in Ohio. Chicken production/farming was the problem, not grain farming that adds nitrate fertilizers to the soil. There is more to the story here.

#13 While the Germans are banning things. How about banning American agricultural and petroleum products. That will save the American consumer some cash.
