These farms will be closed over an 8 year period (hopefully), and farms have been closed over the past years as well. It’s just the protests that are happening now, the actual effects are spread over years and years.
I think this is an utterly ridiculous situation to be in, and the whole argumentation from the farmer’s side is ridiculous. I understand their concerns, but this process has been going on for years, decades, and at this point they’re just mostly spreading FUD.
