Farmers in the Netherlands may be restricted to just two cows to an area the size of a soccer stadium pitch, or slightly wider than an American football field.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who has led the Netherlands at the head of the RINO-style People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) since 2010, is attacking farmers on multiple fronts as he attempts to implement EU diktats related to nitrogen, methane, and other climate change boogeymen.
This has resulted in widespread farmer protests, one of which saw police open fire on a slowly-moving tractor driven by a 16-year-old-boy, and the rise of a pro-farmer political party, the BoerBurgerBeweging (Farmer–Citizen Movement, or BBB), which recently won provincial elections in every region of the Netherlands and is set to become the largest party in the Dutch senate.
Popular resistance and political defeat have not stopped the VVD’s governing coalition from pushing on with the green agenda, however. Reports indicate that it is looking at supplementing its efforts to forcibly buy out many farmers with restrictions on the number of livestock that can be grazed in a given amount of space – which would of course render many farms unviable.
Making Way for Migrants.
The two-cows-per-field proposal has leaked as negotiations between farmers and the governing class are ongoing,
“I am incredibly disappointed that there is a leak. I don’t know where it came from, but it is bad because it is not helpful to the process,” seethed Piet Adema, the government minister for agriculture, in comments to lawmakers, evidently preferring that the public be kept in the dark about such things.

What’s the size of a field?
One acre, ten acres, just curious.
Nobody actually thinks a few cows are causing “climate change”. Your government thinks you are stupid. They are pretty confident you won’t do anything about it.
Absolutely moronic. These people know zip about cattle, healthy soils, carrying capacity, grazing.
I can put a thousand head on that “soccer field” and not have it overgrazed or damaged in any way a make it healthier a producing more (read carbon sink) than with their silly method.
Overgrazing is a function of time not numbers. My thousand head on that parcel will do less harm than their two head on it indefinitely.
But don’t EVER believe that any of this has anything to do with environment or climate. Environmentalists are socialists and communists.
Hmm-mm-m ... that is about 2 acres per cow. That is about 25% of the needed grassland for free range cows. Their beef will soon become smaller and tougher.
Highly productive farms free up more land to exist in a natural state.
I am starting to be one of those people who believe that the powers that be really do want us eating cricket flour and soybeans, much thinner and many fewer.
Keep the borders open, though.
The global South won’t be deterred by a poor, hungry, sparsely populated North, and they won’t give a damn about nitrogen emissions, and they won’t know how to put it back into the soil either, so it will work out in the end.
The leak is very helpful to the process.
It is. And the 90% of sheep that comprise Europe and the US will starve once they are told it’s for the best.

Now you know what democrats are talking about when the say Democracy.
Break your land up into smaller “fields.”
Let me know when the boers start hanging the green EU bastards.
Of course. Small businesses aren't going to be able to pay you off very well.
Imported Africa, became africa. Just another s hole thanks to suicidal whites bowing at the altar of “diversity.”
Rooster,
You’re always the goat to guy for things like this!
I know how old goats think.;-)
