Germany Bans Farmers from Fertilising Own Land to Serve EU ‘Green Agenda’
Daily Fetched ^ | 12/02/2022 | Jason Walsh

Farmers in Germany have been banned from properly fertilizing large areas of their land under strict EU rules pushing the green agenda.

The use of nitrate fertilizers has been further restricted for large swathes of farmland in North Rhine-Westphalia, which is now likely to drastically reduce yields.

Although German authorities have implemented the ban, it is ultimately at the behest of the European Union, which is seeking to reduce the amount of nitrogen to tackle ‘climate change.’

The policy has already wreaked havoc in the Netherlands.

As reported in September, Dutch farmers have risen in protest to oppose the government curbs on nitrogen emissions to comply with Brussels.

Only Denmark, Ireland, the Flanders region of Belgium, and the Netherlands are permitted to exceed 170 kilos of manure per hectare, the current EU cap.

But under the terms negotiated by the outgoing Agriculture Minister, the exemption will end in 2026 and impact approximately 18,000 farms in the Netherlands, which spreads more manure on fields than other EU nations.

Farms affected by the decision will only be able to apply for 10,000 euros in assistance, which even Staghouwer acknowledged will not be sufficient to cover their losses, adding it “is not a nice message” to the farmers.

Green agenda

Now the push has extended into Germany, forcing farmers to use 20 percent less fertilizer.

German news outlet Bild reported that a third of the total usable farmland in North Rhine-Westphalia falls under this new restriction…

First they came for the CO2 (.04%.) Then it was methane (CH4) at a rousing .0002%. But nitrogen (N2)?

NITROGEN is the most abundant element in the atmosphere at 78%. WTH is accomplished by a BS ban on nitrogen other than eliminating productive farming
and the institution of Bill Gates' world wide starvation, with a concomitant elimination of Western Civilization.

We see the great reset and the Elites plan for the serfs unfolding before us.

Also, most fert is made using oil/gas. Since Germany pissed off their main supplier letting farmers go onto the market and finding no fert could be embarrassing — to Germany gov’mt.

Thought raising vegetables was a good thing. Guess if your plan is starvation to thin the herd?

Don’t let your herd poop in the field. That will require an interesting solution.

Meanwhile, just where does human waste go? It fertilizes at its end destination (and probably along the way too), right? Got to stop that.

How about pigeon poop? Dog poop? Rat poop? Songbird poop? Weasel poop? Bear poop? Pope poop?

the solution is easy.

Capture all the atmosphere, separate and filter it, removing all the CO2, CH4, N2.

Stuff it down deep into the earth, I guess, yeah, that’s the answer.

So we are left with 99.9% O2. Besides a little oxygen toxicity never hurt anyone. And don’t strike a match.
