Dutch Dairy Farmer Faces Having to Cull 95 Percent of His Cows
“In the Netherlands, dairy farmer Martin Neppelenbroek is near the end of the line.
New environmental regulations will require him to slash his livestock numbers by 95 percent. He thinks he will have to sell his family farm
‘I can’t run a farm on 5 percent. For me, it’s over and done with,’ he said in a July 7 interview with The Epoch Times. ‘In view of the regulations, I can’t sell it to anybody.
Nobody wants to buy it. [But] the government wants to buy it. And that’s why they [have] those regulations, I think’
Neppelenbroek made the remarks while speaking with Roman Balmakov, host of Facts Matter on EpochTV, during Balmakov’s recent trip to the Netherlands
Neppelenbroek pointed out that not all farmers are required to get rid of so many of their cattle.
People living further from areas protected under Natura 2000, a European Union agreement for species and habitat preservation, can own more cattle”
