Fallen Schoof cabinet not yet crippled

Minister Femke Wiersma is angry about the fall of the Schoof cabinet. She calls it 'very disappointing' and even 'reprehensible'. The agricultural organisations are also disappointed and for once unanimous. Yet a fallen cabinet is by no means gone or played out.

Do you choose the farmer or the investor in the tenancy law?

Due to the fall of the cabinet, it is getting a bit snowed under, but on Monday 2 June, the Lower House Committee LVVN discussed the initiative note 'The wisdom in lease' of members Bromet and Van Campen. In short: long-term lease must become the standard and lease regulations must facilitate sustainability with an eye for the earning capacity of the farmer. The focus is logically very much on the lease legislation and a growing form of lease, namely leasehold, remains out of consideration.

Tenants feel ignored during relocation

Lease-dependent companies have so far been virtually ignored in the various regulations that exist to relocate companies in connection with nature. This is the conclusion of the tenants' association BLHB. Minister Wiersma of LVVN ignores requests for consultation and ignores the contribution that lease companies can make to achieve the set goals for nitrogen reduction and nature reinforcement, according to the BLHB. She would still like to be involved.

Should a farmer intensify or extensify?

Lately I see the discussion increasing whether we can save nature by focusing on what is called in English 'land-sparing' or on 'land-sharing'? The reason for the flare-up of the discussion is the growing awareness that sufficient food must be produced worldwide to feed all mouths. Intensive agriculture and the environment are often presented as opposites. As if both are impossible at the same time.

RVB offers leasehold farms for sale to tenants

The government has decided that the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf (RVB) may sell some of its farms and associated yards to the farmers who currently lease them. This concerns some 130 farms, mainly located in Flevoland. The associated agricultural land remains the property of the government and therefore remains under lease.

Farmers believe in land, prices have risen more

The price of agricultural land in the Netherlands has risen sharply again in 2024. On average, €85.300 was paid for a hectare of arable, grass or silage maize land, according to the annual report on agricultural real estate of the NVM. This is 8,3% more than a year earlier. The continuing scarcity on the land market, in combination with extra demand from livestock farming, is causing strong price pressure. According to the NVM, it is striking that dairy farms are being sold remarkably quickly.

Agricultural land in Canada is again significantly more expensive

Canadian farmland prices rose by an average of 2024% in 9,3. While this is a slightly more moderate increase than in 2023, growth is still above the five- and ten-year average. Prices have risen particularly sharply in the province of Saskatchewan, with an increase of 13,1%. Price growth in 2025 may be slowed by the trade war between Canada and the United States.

British farmer faces major cuts in new agricultural policy

For the first time in 14 years, a Labour government in the United Kingdom has announced its government budget. The British are unanimous on one thing: Everyone is unhappy with the outcome. Labour's agricultural plans are clear. There are major budget cuts. In particular, an upper limit on the agricultural exemption goes down the wrong way. 'They're forbidding you to die', sounds the typical black British humor.
