A growing Facebook collective is calling for upside-down flags to keep hanging up. The collective, 'Farmers and Gardeners Movement Westland,' is responding to a Westland municipality decision. In the municipality, flags along public roads must be gone by 15 October. That does not alter the fact that flags can be hung on, for example, a facade, buffer tank, or silo, as shown by a video about hanging a large upside-down Dutch flag on grower Ruud van der Hoeven's heat buffer. Watch the call on the Facebook page here.
