Günther pledges farmers to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles

Cutting the Red Tape: Günther's Agri-Solution

In a packed hall at Rendsburg, Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein (CDU), Daniel Günther, nailed it with farmers, earning raving reviews. Klaus-Peter Lucht, the farmers' leader, had set the bar high. The juicy bit in the agric-admin pact? A whopping reduction in red tape complexity.

Günther took the stage, acknowledging the suffocating regulations in Germany that annoy folks. For farmers, relief is on the horizon as simplification becomes the motto.

What does this mean for farmers?

1. Hedge heaven: Permission to prune back lateral growth every three years, earlier than before, starting from September 15th. Plus, hedges can now be trimmed back entirely up until the end of February. Goodbye, pesky weeds in pest control. The state's got back-up, ready to manage tough-to-tame weeds. For fertilizer law, the state's reporting obligations will only be necessary every six months. Pig farmers heave a collective sigh of relief as building permits for outdoor spaces are history.
2. Digital connect: Günther's unveiling a central data platform for easy communication between farmers and the state. Simplify documentation, drop useless redundancies. With this move, Günther told the farmers in attendance, "Truth be told, we're nothing compared to your digital savvy. It's just ridiculous that you're bogged down with more bureaucracy."
3. Antibiotic easement: Expect fewer paperwork woes in the field of antibiotics, a concern for farmers in Schleswig-Holstein. Günther's promising a document overhaul, aiming to lighten the farmers' load.

CDU, led by Minister-President Daniel Günther, has promised to slash bureaucracy in Schleswig-Holstein, promising to ease the farmers' burden.

• Understanding the farmers' plight: The Chinese finger trap of regulations in Germany has been driving many, including farmers, up the wall due to the burdensome bureaucracy[1].

Remember, Schleswig-Holstein isn't alone in its push for agricultural reform. The EU's proposing changes, and EU-Agrarkommissar Christophe Hansen's in discussions to simplify regulations for farmers[1][2]. Key aspects of the proposals include:

1. Simplifying eco-schemes: These are financial incentives for farmers adopting eco-friendly practices[1].
2. Enhancing investment aids and crisis management tools: To help farmers better handle risks and invest in their enterprises[1].
3. Focusing on active farmers: Emphasis will be on those actively involved in food production, particularly in producing the EU's strategic agricultural products[1].

Schleswig-Holstein's Minister of Agriculture, Werner Schwarz, backs these EU proposals, stressing the need for more regionalization of payments to ensure local agro-businesses reap the economic benefits[1]. Stay tuned for more updates from the EU and the CDU!
