The Kro-NCrv celebrity has been presenting the popular program for seventeen years farmer seeks wife and this year, in her own words, dares to “finally make her big dream come true.” She is helped by several farmers from past seasons. The bus she drove through Europe with Bertie for Our Farm in Europe is placed on a piece of land and serves as a base.
Kro-Ncrv does not yet want to say whether in Our Farm: and now itself! current problems with farmers are addressed. Angry farmers have been protesting the cabinet’s nitrogen plans for weeks. Jaspers previously said in a short statement that “the current nitrogen problem does not only belong to the farmers.” “All parties involved must actively and together look differently at the way in which the Netherlands deals with food and food production.” She was widely suggested on social media as a mediator in the conflict. Many farmers seem to reject Johan Remkes, who has been appointed as a mediator by the cabinet.
The presenter has come under fire a number of times in recent years because of her ties to the agricultural sector. For a number of years she was active at ForFarmers, the largest livestock feed company in Europe. Animal organizations also filed a complaint in 2019 against Our Farmanother program by Jaspers about farmers, because they felt that the presenter had spread fake news about chicken farmers.
