Proposal to pay farmers €5,000 to cull cows
Irish Farmer's Journal ^ | July 27th,2022 | Jack Kennedy

Posted on 08/03/2022 10:27:50 AM PDT by Mount Athos

The Department of Agriculture estimates the move would take 45,000t of carbon dioxide equivalent out of the atmosphere for every 10,000 cows culled.

(...)

The move would "directly reduce agricultural activity" in Ireland and would reduce greenhouse gas omissions.

We tried that in the 90s. It was supposed
to reduce the milk surplus and therefore raise the commodity price of milk. What it
did was turn a whole lot of small farms into tract housing and raised the price in stores but not at the farm.

We are witness to the deliberate collapse of food and fuel production. All under the guise of saving the Earth. And they may be right. They're "saving the Earth," alright. Just not for you. It's democide / genocide on a massive and monstrous scale.

Kill. Them. All.

Kill. Them. First.

" . . . the move would take 45,000t of carbon dioxide equivalent out of the atmosphere for every 10,000 cows culled."

So, every cow releases 4.5 TONS of "carbon equivalent" into the atmosphere? I call BS.

"4.5 tons per cow ??"

Beat me to it. I wonder how they arrived at that figure?

The average cow produces about 19,825 pounds of milk each year. That’s 2,305 gallons of milk a year or about 8 gallons of milk every day of her milking period.

Right now it’s about $25 per hundredweight in Pennsylvania. A gallon of standard whole milk weighs 8.6 pounds. A hundredweight in milk is 11.6 gallons or $2.155 per gallon.

2,305 gallons per year x $2.155 per gallon is $4,967.27 average revenue per cow per year.

Thus they are paying $5,000, the equivalent of one year milk revenue. (Assuming $1 = 1 Euro).

What are they going to do with the land?

It's Ireland. Farm potatoes and barley for beer and whiskey.

Maybe the Irish farmers should consider culling the politicians first!

Strange how many very religious people cannot believe God knew what he was doing when he gave us cows/sheep/chickens, etc.

Otherwise we would have nothing but insects.

Can you imagine a dinosaur living on insects only???

I suppose 5k per cow would be a good price. But they should hold some back to rebuild the herd.

“What are they going to do with the land?”

We can use it to build a memorial to Western Civilization once it’s dead.

Same thing is going on in Holland. Farmers are up in arms there, the government has gone totally police state. Like Canada did last summer, and New Zealand with the Covid police, Oz, Sri Lanka… it’s is a concerted campaign by the totalitarian WEF to implement the Great Reset. We are seeing it happen before our eyes.
