‘I want to say something about the farmers, although I already know that they don’t like to read that,’ the singer begins his message. Bennie understands the farmers’ concerns, but warns them not to ‘make new enemies’. The singer speaks strongly about the protest in front of the house of nitrogen minister Christianne van der Wal.

According to Bennie, farmers should also not be incited by action group Farmers Defense Force. According to him, there is simply a nitrogen crisis that requires ‘draconian measures’. Bennie puts the blame on the government, which, according to him, has conducted the wrong policy in recent years. ‘But we still have and continue to have a major nitrogen problem, which must be shared by all of us.’
