While state officials have claimed that closings will be initially voluntary, they have simultaneously threatened farmers with compulsory land buyouts if not enough comply with the program by next fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no better offer coming,\u201d Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal told parliament members on Nov. 25.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling government is also considering plans to tax nitrogen emissions, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchnews.nl\/news\/2022\/11\/compulsory-purchase-will-be-an-option-to-close-down-farms-ministers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dutch News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am incredibly concerned about the prospects for permanent farmers,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lto.nl\/lto-voor-blijvende-boer-vooral-nieuwe-beperkingen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> Sjaak van der Tak, who serves as chairman of LTO Nederland (a farmers\u2019 lobbying group). \u201cOf course, it is positive that a good voluntary stopper scheme is being promised. But the stayers who are central to us are subject to many additional restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The authoritarian-esque policy announcement comes as part of the Dutch government\u2019s bid to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/en\/environment\/article\/2022\/07\/14\/in-the-netherlands-a-drastic-plan-to-reduce-nitrogen-provokes-farmers-anger_5990080_114.html#:~:text=Europe-,In%20the%20Netherlands%2C%20a%20drastic%20plan%20to%20reduce%20nitrogen%20emissions,and%20may%20eventually%20be%20expropriated.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">halve<\/a> the country\u2019s nitrogen emissions by 2030, a target set earlier this year that sparked nationwide protests by farmers and everyday citizens. As The Federalist previously <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/06\/dutch-government-launches-canadian-style-crackdown-on-farmer-protests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>, an estimated 40,000 farmers in tractors and trucks participated in demonstrations over the summer, clogging up major highways and blockading supermarket distribution centers in protest of the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>In some reported cases, the government responded to protestors with brutal force, deploying tear gas and dogs to break up demonstrations in cities such as Heerenveen. The response <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/06\/dutch-government-launches-canadian-style-crackdown-on-farmer-protests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">closely mirrored<\/a> that of the Canadian government, which used similar tactics in abusing state authority to quash truckers protesting the country\u2019s Covid jab mandates earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>While government officials continue to masquerade their climate alarmist policies as an attempt to \u201cgo green,\u201d the crackdown on private agriculture is just another facet of big-government globalists\u2019 ongoing war against everyday citizens.
