Those Far Right Dutch Farmers

a reply to: Kenzo

Looks like they are trying to engineer a new GLOBAL potato famine type affair to kill the population off.

No, it looks like someone didn't read beyond the headline.

Here's the skinny from another source:

Older farmers in England will be paid to retire under a UK government scheme to bring new blood into the trade.

The average farmer could receive a lump sum payment of £50,000 - capped at £100,000 for farmers with most land.

It is part of a massive overhaul of farm grants, incentivising farmers to protect the environment.

Some older farmers are resistant to new "green" methods, Environment Secretary George Eustice believes, and he wants them to move on.

Further down in the article it explains that farmers are already given around 21,000 pounds/year in subsidies. Around 1/4th of the farmers are over the age of 60, and the Tenant Farmers Association and others are actually very interested in this plan, because it allows them to retire and encourages people new to the business to take up farming.

So, no. Nobody's planning a famine. It seems to be a case of "read the title and nothing else."

Well if it brings new blood into the trade fine BUT that will only work for Tennant farmers in the UK, it will also replace men with knowledge of there land with people that don't know how hard farming really is so?.

Another crackpot scheme by some idiot in Whitehall by the sound of it.

a reply to: Byrd

But what if they don't want to retire?

Why should they be forced to?

a reply to: Kenzo

Yes just another politician mate.

Thought this lady asked some important questions about who signed the relevant contracts which caused all this bullsh°t (turns out it was Monsanto and Cargill 4:10).

Also once looked into Monsanto regarding their mass employment of loser internet shills and the corruption is mind-blowing.

Apparently the owners of Monsanto are now Bayer (major Nazi connections up until the 1970's) and the controlling interests of the whole enterprise end up with 'Blackrock and Vanguard'.

The Vanguard Group owns over $3 trillion in investments in different, and mostly hated, companies like Monsanto. They also hold the world’s largest companies such as: Bank of America, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. State Street Corporation, Vanguard Group, Capital Research Global Investors, and FMR (Fidelity) are all the key owners of – well, essentially the world. And this includes Monsanto. You could say that just four companies control all the big banks and all the major companies on the planet.

Turns out they also control big pharma and big media as well.

That Rutte ( sound`s like rat ) seems as not nice person. Not good for Netherland for having that as PM

Trust me when i say that the fact that he now still is a PM is as bewildering as Biden ever and still being president. If you had seen the things he says and lied about on National tv in what would be the Dutch equivalent of congress you would understand it 100%.

It is unbelievable. They should all be shot if you ask me, and many many others here in the Netherlands think that.

That's part of a scheme to introduce a bit of youth into farming as it's sorely needed in the UK.

There's a lot of work being done to rewild parts of farmland and lessen intensive farming techniques and both demonstrably improve the local ecology.

From what I'm seeing a good percentage of the young farmers moving into the business are actually moving away from intensive techniques and getting back to the roots of natural fertilizers, no tilling farming techniques and the likes. Inherited farms rocking the gravy train so to speak? I probably wouldn't want to destroy a legacy either that said many are trying to diversify.

Seriously worth mentioning that before industrialisation about 1/4 to 1/5 of farmed lands would be left to go fallow after 2-4 growing seasons. Understand the why and you'll start to understand why we need to consider such things today. We're living on the same land we're killing when we supplement it to get what we want, we're stripping it of it's productive capacity.

It's not just us relying on the land... Or the water for that matter.

Yes. Why?

a reply to: Byrd

I might start a thread on this next week

Some of the stuff these new uptakes are doing is really innovative and profitable! With the serious added bonus of revitalising the land.

a reply to: LABTECH767

Land is land, there's nothing mystifying about farming. If you're asking if people are entering the farming market with education, practical knowledge and the links to succeed? Then yes of course they are.

You'd be surprised what the organic and green push is doing to our countryside, worth looking into if you have the time. Intensive cash crops are becoming less and less viable for small holdings. Screw Whitehall, it's the young lads and lasses out their doing things you want to see.

Buy local and support them

Yes. Why?

You are an enemy to hard-working farmers everywhere.

a reply to: VierEyes

Lol! No. It is only that I have not seen what you call hard-working farmers around. I've seen landowners exploiting illegals, the same landowners that talk against immigrants in public, though secretly oppose to any ban of immigrants because, you see, nobody will ever work for them in their farms.

There are good farmers, and evil farmers. Not every farmer is a hard-working, honest farmer, as you seem to imply. Same happens with carpenters, blacksmiths, plumbers, electricians, engineers, neurosurgeons, interior decorators, tax consultants, lawyers, judges, gardeners, nutcrackers, ball boys, chicken sexers, or astronauts. It seems you think all farmers everywhere are good guys, and I think that's not the case.

I dont know nothing about farming I just buy potatoes from supermarket .

There`s a reason i am not farmer

a reply to: Kenzo

Ahh see that's the crux... The supermarket.

They already killed the grocer, the butcher and the baker. To simplify my earlier post these farmers are becoming the grocer, the butcher etc. They provide imho better products to local shop keepers and it's all a little bit more wholesome all round.

Costs the consumer a bit more but in the grand scheme of things such products are nutritionally superior to an industrialised and highly commercialised equivalent.

a reply to: RAY1990

Ok thanks for explanation, i try to buy organic when ever i can ..

I really dislike the idea having glyphosate in urine .


I hear chicken manure is good fertilizer .
