Don't like to see production as well as acres decreasing

I am not an agronomist but this is not going to help with supply or price. But it will help fight the dreaded climate change.

Don't like to see production as well as acres decreasing

A raspberry grower who leases from us is testing a new variety on 40 acres, and l just got off the phone with another tenant who grows alfalfa. He reported quantity up at the start of the year, by quality was down, transitioning into good quality and quantity, and finally at season's end quality again dropping. It sounded like an acceptable year, not a bumper year that he had a few years back, but he certainly didn't lose any money.

Not sensible on any level, inmates in charge of the asylum!

If farmers do not agree to the plan, the buyouts could become compulsory. “There is no better offer coming,” Dutch Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal told members of parliament last week.

The plan comes as the Dutch government moves to halve its nitrogen emissions by 2030 in accordance with European Union conservation rules. But to meet that target, the government estimates that 11,200 farms will have to close, and 17,600 others will have to reduce their livestock numbers significantly.

The targets have been met with outrage in the Netherlands. This summer, tens of thousands of protesters massed in major Dutch cities to protest news of the emissions cuts, blocking roadways, bridges, and key waterways.

Farming is a critical sector of the Dutch economy. Despite being just slightly larger than the state of Maryland, the Netherlands is (was) the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural goods, behind only the United States, and its exports in that sector totaled roughly 105 billion euros in 2021 alone.

Don't see many articles looking at vegetable and root crop shortages in a winter that has hit Asia very hard.
