Government   The government is severe to the bio-industry. For everything a lot of  rules are made. Dung may only be produced in curtain amounts, and may only be injected in the ground from half february to the first of september( this is a role in Holland). This is strictly controlled.  Not only the dung is controlled. Also the products coming from the farm are controlled .   The farmers are also tackled for things they do not control. When the swine fever broke out in Holland in 1997 the government made the rules for keeping pigs a lot more severe. As soon as the infection was reduced the real problem started for the farmers. Minister van Aartsen (the minister for agriculture) was convinced that the stock of pigs had to be reduced. The farmers hardly got any compensation. The farmers had to settle further apart and in a lot of municipality in the north of Holland  there were requests by farmers to start a pig farm  The municipality changed their destination plans immediately.  In that way it is forbidden to start any activity in stock farming (Is the same as bio-industry).   In the past there were large problems in overproduction. Too much milk was produced in Europe. That's why a milkquotum was introduced  This means that only a determined amount of milk may be produced as a maximum. When there is a higher production the farmer has to pay a "super-capital-levy" This levy is so high that the farmer will not manage with it to produce more than the maximum.  In this way the government tries to keep farming in hand.  The next page is the 3th introduction.  * Farmers   * actiongroups
