The news was first reported by the Irish Farmer’s Journal.
The WinePress reported on some of these proposals in late-July, the same day the Irish Farmer’s Journal came out with their report, though The WP report discussed how the Irish was considering an outright euthanization of 30% of all cattle – which is identical to The Netherlands’ initiatives.
On August 6th, the Scottish Farmer reported that the new proposals come via the Food Vision Dairy Group, which suggests reimbursing farmers €5000 per dairy cow that is slaughtered.
The Scottish Farmer wrote,
‘The influential report is making the recommendations to ‘directly reduce agricultural activity’ and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For every 10,000 cows culled, the Department for Agriculture in Ireland estimate 45,000t of carbon dioxide equivalent would be cut from the atmosphere. The current TB scheme puts the value of a dairy cow at €4300 for compensation – however others in the sector want a payment over €5000 to account for reduced future earnings.’
The outlet added, ‘Other measures being proposed include a trading mechanism for emissions on farms, and reducing artificial nitrogen by 10% to 20% on dairy farms, which is estimated to result in a 10% cut in farm profitability. Further methane inhibiters for dairy cows are planned by 2030 with an estimated cost of between €75 to €100 per dairy cow. The Food Vision Dairy Group is chaired by the former director of Teagasc, Gerry Boyle.’
Agenda 2030: You’ll Own Nothing And Be Happy
This coalition group was formed in January of this year, as a means of reaching climate goals by 2030.
Agriland reported in May the group’s many different proposals to hit these arbitrary goals, which are:
- Consider a voluntary retirement/deintensification scheme;
- Explore the potential of a cap and trade emissions model;
- Explore the possibility of measuring and monitoring carbon production at individual farm level;
- Reduce chemical nitrogen (N) use in the dairy sector by 30% in the short term (2025), with a 35% reduction target in the medium term (2030);
- Achieve an 100% replacement rate of calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) with protected urea by the end of 2025 for grass based dairy production systems;
- Develop methane-mitigating feed technologies;
- Development methane-mitigating breeding strategies;
- Adopt a common co-op charter on sustainable milk production that underpins the family farm model;
- Increase investment in climate change research and in knowledge transfer (KT) and establish a Climate Change Research Liaison Group (CCRLG ) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);
- Design a climate action communications strategy;
- Increased adoption of low-emissions slurry spreading (LESS) – 100% adoption of LESS for all dairy cow organic manure by 2025;
- Ensure 100% of dairy farms are soil testing for pH by 2025;
- Drive Clover Adoption and Multi-Species swards (MSS)- ensure all dairy farmers have incorporated clover/multispecies on 20% of their farm grassland by end of 2025;
- Milk recording- strive to achieve 90% adoption rate by end of 2025;
- Develop energy diversification opportunities;
- All co-ops to adopt sustainability programmes by 2025;
- Introduce animal health measures listed in Action 314 of the Climate Action Plan 2021.
The United Kingdom is currently offering large sums of money to farmers to sell their land to the government, called the Lump Sum Exit Scheme. The money deal ends September 30th.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.1 Timothy 4:1-3
The war on God’s creation (while they continually say they are trying to save the creation) continues forth, as the handlers are determined to get the masses on an even greater slave diet, whilst wrecking the economy, supply chains, and private land ownership in the process.
Of course, these are all “suggestions” and briberies right now: they will eventually get more serious and ‘play nice’ no longer.
If you are a farmer and cattle rancher, then you must do what you can to fight this, and if it means doing so, go down swinging; but the Lord must be behind that battle. If the Lord is not the center of this fight, it will be lost before it starts.
[1] Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. [2] Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. [3] Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. [4] Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. [5] Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. [6] Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. [7] For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. [8] Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. [9] And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. [10] All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?Psalms 35:1-10
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

What is 5,000 euros good for in an almost hyperinflation period? What will it be worth when it kick starts? Keeping the cattle has way more worth. At least it can feed people.
That is the whole point. No food, people die. Population control.
