Great Reset: start BUYING from farmers. THOUSANDS of farms to CLOSE
… ten thousand farms shut down forever
… to fall in line with the green agenda of the European Union
… farms that do not comply with the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme
… initially impact approximately 3,000 privately-owned farms which are deemed to emit too much nitrogen
… farmers will be able to apply for a buyout, which will be set at 120 per cent of the farm’s value
… the government will also offer buyouts for dairy, pig and poultry farmers
… to shut down in exchange for a payout of 100 per cent of their farm’s value
… will remain voluntary for now
… the Dutch government has previously suggested that if uptake is not high enough it may be forced to impose mandatory buyouts
… the other options, such as reducing emissions, are not currently explained
… the country’s status as Europe’s largest exporter of meat and one of the largest dairy exporters in the world
… “Over my dead body. I’ll move on, even if it’s with two cows.”
… the political elites in The Hague will only be satisfied “when the last farmer is gone”
… “While the rest of the economy can continue to grow”
