New environmental regulations in The Netherlands threaten to decimate the country\u2019s cattle industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One dairy farmer by the name of Martin Neppelenbroek says the government expects him to cull his herd by 95 percent, leaving him with too few head to survive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t run a farm on five percent,\u201d Neppelenbroek stated in a July 7 interview with The Epoch Times<\/em>. (Related: Neppelenbroek\u2019s plight is why thousands of Dutch farmers are protesting with their tractors<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Neppelenbroek says the new \u201cgreen\u201d rules will probably force him to sell his family farm \u2013 that is, if anyone is willing to buy it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of the regulations, I can\u2019t sell it to anybody,\u201d he laments. \u201cNobody wants to buy it. [But] the government wants to buy it. And that\u2019s why they [have] those regulations, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

EpochTV<\/em>\u2018s Roman Balmakov, host of \u201cFacts Matter,\u201d took a trip to The Netherlands recently to see for himself the situation. Then he spoke to Neppelenbroek about how the new rules are affecting his farm.<\/p>\n

Dutch minister of nature and nitrogen policy Christianne van der Wal could seize property of farmers who don\u2019t comply with herd depopulation demands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One very small silver lining in all this is that not every farm faces the same restrictions as Neppelenbroek\u2019s. Others, depending on the situation, may be allowed to keep a larger percentage of their herd.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople living further from areas protected under Natura 2000, a European Union (EU) agreement for species and habitat preservation, can own more cattle,\u201d the Times<\/em> reports<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s because the Dutch government\u2019s regulations on nitrogen oxides and ammonia emissions are tied to sites\u2019 proximity to those protected areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even so, the new rules are ridiculous and unscientific. Mankind has been raising cattle since the beginning of time, without issue, but all of a sudden we are supposed to believe that most cows need to die in order to stop the planet from \u201cwarming?\u201d<\/p>\n

Even in an already \u201cgreen\u201d economy like the one The Netherlands currently has, citizens are starting to realize that the \u201cclimate change\u201d narrative they have been fed throughout their lives is a ploy to eliminate meat, strangle the economy and ultimately depopulate their country and the world.<\/p>\n

This is what is meant by a \u201cgreat reset,\u201d meaning large amounts of people will need to have their lives ended in order to \u201ccool\u201d the planet and make everything \u201csustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to reports, Dutch farmers who refuse to comply with the new rules could see their property seized by Christianne van der Wal, the country\u2019s minister of nature and nitrogen policy \u2013 a title that in and of itself is ridiculous.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is not a future for all [Dutch] farmers,\u201d warned the Dutch government.<\/p>\n

Neppelenbroek\u2019s 70-acre-plus property is currently home to just 130 milking cows. It has been in his family for half a century, but is now slated for destruction at the hands of the greenies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the second generation,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that The Netherlands, despite its relatively small size, is a major producer of food and other agricultural products. The country is currently one of the world\u2019s top 10 food exporters, having ideal climate conditions for a variety of agricultural outputs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a delta, and the climate is not too hot, not too cold,\u201d Neppelenbroek says. \u201cIt\u2019s an ideal place to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t blame just one small group in your country for polluting the environment,\u201d he adds, referring to farmers who are merely doing something that farmers have been doing for thousands of years: growing and raising food for human consumption.<\/p>\n
