Reducing the Red Tape for Farmers: Günther's Promise
Daniel Günther, Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein (CDU), garnered exceptional approval at the state farmers' gathering in Rendsburg. Klaus-Peter Lucht, the farmers' leader, had set high expectations before. The main relief point in the agreement between agriculture and the state administration is a significant reduction in bureaucratic complexity.
Günther addressed the burdensome regulations that plague various aspects of life in Germany, stating that these regulations frustrate many people. For farmers, relief is in sight with a focus on simplifying procedures.
Farmers can anticipate relief in hedge management. In the future, they'll be permitted to prune back the lateral growth every three years, earlier than before, starting from September 15th. Hedges can now be trimmed back entirely up until the end of February. In pest control, the state will take measures to manage tough-to-control weeds. In fertilizer law, the state's reporting obligation will only be necessary every six months. Pig farmers will be relieved with the elimination of the need for a building permit for outdoor spaces.
Günther has unveiled a central data platform for interaction between farmers and the state, aimed at simplifying documentation and eliminating redundant entries. Günther addressed the hundreds of farmers in the hall, stating, "You're far more adept in the digital sphere than we are, and it's just absurd that we fail while you end up with more bureaucratic work."
The head of government also pledged to farmers to slash documentation requirements in the field of antibiotics, stringent in Schleswig-Holstein compared to other states. The CDU, led by Minister-President Daniel Günther, has made promises to reduce bureaucracy in Schleswig-Holstein, aiming to alleviate the burden on farmers.
