It's a joke and also would never happen since Danish farmers own the state and get anything they want. Mink farms got shut down during COVID and every mini farmer got to evaluate the value of their farm more or less on their own. They still cried about it.
They get their head and their ass filled with subsidies and they still complain. They pay barely any taxes and they still complain. We have dammed and dried up lakes so they can have more soil, and they still complain. We have rerouted and lowered every single river in this country for irrigation purposes and they still complain.
These assholes use the subsidy money to pay lobbyists so they can be sure they won't ever have to work for themselves - despite the fact that they're all conservative dickheads that hate welfare.
I wish all farmers a wonderful barbara-pit

Thanks for explaining all this.

No worries. Farmers in most of Europe are the old landed elite, their "nobility" obfuscated now by the fact that they "fairly" (you can trace almost all farmer families back to them being granted the land they own by some king or duke) own land which they "work" (hire others).
Farmers delenda est.
