EU farmers push back against green agenda: “Why does Brussels hate us?”



A new proposal by the globalists in charge of the European Union (EU) would require that all farms be treated like industrial plants, similar to steel mills or chemical works, so they can be forcibly regulated to align with the bloc’s 2030 “green” goals.

Right now, Kazanas captures “biogas” from the cow dung his animals produce. He also uses homegrown manure rather than chemical fertilizer – and yet still the EU wants to shut him down by reclassifying his farm as an industrial operation so it can meet its 55 percent emissions reductions targets by the year 2030.

“That’s what the EU says, and that’s what I do,” Kazanas told the media about the “earth-friendly” measures he is already deploying at his ranch. “Today, everyone blames cattle for methane production and pollution … I have a different opinion.”....<<<Read More>>>...
