Netherlands to buy out and close 3,000 farms to meet climate goals

The Dutch government is planning to buy out and close as many as 3,000 farms in the country, exacerbating an already-bitter dispute with growers as leaders attempt to halve the country’s nitrogen emissions by 2030.

Confiscation of farms is underway in that lovely ****hole known as the european union.

So as that ****hole continues to make itself vulnerable to others through self imposed reductions to food an energy, can we tell them to **** off when they come to us looking for defense and protection?

Hope they like eating bugs.

EDIT: and nobody should allow them to import crops. That would just be them sending the nitrogen "problem" to somebody else. No. If its a problem for you, its a problem for us. So they dont get to import crops and must live without if they arent willing to do it themselves.

Nitrogen emissions? Isn’t our atmosphere already 78% nitrogen?
WTF?

Just another excuse for control.

Wait. Why shouldn't we be able to profit from their stupidity by selling them crops?

Not in the waterways. Too much nitrogen in the water causes algae blooms which destroys everything else in the area. Its a huge problem. Just look at the ponds around the state that are totally overgrown with algae. A lot of that is due to farm runoff.

Stupid should hurt. Let them eat bugs.

It's been going on awhile and the Farmers have protested. I've posted videos before. Have the tractor convoys on the highway and dumping manure on roadways. A couple closer to the origin of the problem, politics. Just click in the blank video for YouTube manure spreading at a government building!



Another one

Admittedly I have not thought this through but, at first blush, what is not allowed in a home country for reasons of environmental or safety should not be allowed to be pushed off to other countries.

Looking at you USA…

While they raise corn to burn in our cars under the guise of reducing emissions from vehicles while damaging other parts of the environment.

Our society lacks the ability to think through unintended consequences…

Our society has become a ******* control freak... consequences be damned.

Let's look at how it works with energy....

****hole EU cuts their own production to "save the planet".
US cuts its production to "save the planet".

Our "ally", the ****hole EU, needs help so the US sends funds confiscated from taxpayers to other suppliers to help our allies.

"We" don't sell more. We buy more from others to give it to the ****hole EU.


Farm products? No reason to expect it would not work the same way. After all, how much can we really let US farmers produce given its "impact on the planet"?


Pro Tip: When somebody is trying to "make you an offer you cannot refuse" like these ***holes in the ****hole EU, shoot them.

Just wait until the breakdown of what farms.
What I have read is that most of the farms in question were cattle and dairy.

They can kiss being the number two agriculture exporter good bye.

Seems like it.

Glad I have none.

And foreign exchange.

 

[Magyars]

Seems like just another step towards population control. Remember all those food producers and factories that have been destroyed in the last few years

 

[Landrunner33]

It’s kinda happening here too. With large conglomerates buying up family farms. Soon we will have three giant farms to choose from just like most every other commodity.

Just listened to the farmers that where on the rob and casey show on wibc..seems like our state is doing the exact same thing in Lebanon. Really encourage anyone to go and listen to it on the podcast later or their YouTube. I've always wanted to be a farmer. But unless you're born into it you have a next to 0 % chance. Id love to see more farmers tell the govt to f off
