From new years it’s illegal to sell timber from breaking new ground for agricultural use in Norway. The circular regenerative concept we have built for years, illegal. This picture is from my neighbours land, where I keep it tidy in the exchange for the timber. It used to be a beautiful grass meadow, and is now a spruce plantation in shambles. Tree plantations on agricultural land aint any good. But I guess the EU beaurocrats dont want to hear about it. Tree good, cow bad. Even if the tree dies and the cows would thrive. We’re not stopping though. It’s time to go hunting for grey zones and loopholes. And make some Norwegian politicians answer for themselves. image

Or course they wouldn’t find out if I sold a few logs. But it makes it illegal at the economic viable scale. I have transformed about 20 hactares from forest to pasture/silvopasture and couldnt have done it economically next year.
Yeah it's some bullshit that's for sure. It's ludicrous to not be allowed to benefit from the resources grown on your land.

It’s as if farmers haven’t been managing land for thousands of years. Bloody bureaucrats.
