Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
More than 3,000 farmers in Finland on Friday descended on Helsinki to protest against the government's agriculture and food policy. The farmers, along with 600 tractors, came from across the country and parked on Senate Square in the heart of the capital to call on the government to support the country's agricultural sector, which has been suffering as a result of falling food prices and European Union sanctions on Russia, a key export market for the sector.

cygmx wise up fool

The E.U. decided to meddle in the agricultural business, telling the farmers how to run their own farms. In Finland, they attempted to force the planting of inappropriate crops, and punish dissenting farmers, through both quotas - and market manipulation. An overdependence on (forced) post war Russian trade has hurt the economy, not helped. Russians, how's the дезинформация business, pays well?
