Bonus for keeping cows outside
Farmers who let their cows graze outside in the summer are eligible for a bonus of up to five cents per kilo of milk. Some 15% of Dutch cows are kept permanently indoors and that percentage is rising.
‘The cow is the ambassador for the dairy sector,’ said a spokesman for the initiative.
