An Open Letter To Justin Trudeau - Re: Carbon Tax

[checking]

You can build all the carbon you want in your soils.

It just won't be recognized that you have contributed anything.

Concentrate on getting gasfarmer to realize that his cow herd is causing ocean levels to rise.

[Plowdown]

I can measure soil carbon through soil tests (so can you) so I would argue that with a carbon tax comes a market to sell the credits I gain through my soil test carbon.

I would also argue that grass farmers cows are a big part of the solution to many of the problems that we are having. If there was more money in cows, we would be draining less land not suited for crop produciton, and calling it pasture. Instead we drain the class 4-5 land which floods the class 2-3 land realeasing NOx on the good land that would grow 3x the crop... not to mention all the emissions banging our heads against the wall trying to clear, drain and farm the old pastures.
