Original Note:
The government’s plan would lower the maximum stocking rate of nitrogen per hectare of farm, due to too high levels of nitrates in the rivers and groundwater. The plan does not mandate the “slaughter [of] 200,000 dairy cows to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” https://www.irishexaminer.com/farming/arid-41183401.html
