BC has had a long term carbon tax and they have used it to reduce other forms of taxation and now have some of the lowest income tax rates in the country and a strong economy.
The federal program returns most of the carbon tax in a tax credits.
If you reduce carbon emissions then you will pay less tax and still get the credit.
The current carbon tax will have a relatively small impact on most farmers unless they start taxing nitrous oxide.
Becoming more efficient and using less fossil energy is the way of the future. Industries that don't change or won't change will be left behind.
The holistic resource management folks have always asked why cattle ranchers needed to use a bale processor and burn a lot of diesel to feed cows when the cows could feed themselves with controlled bale grazing in many areas? You still see a lot of bale processors running all winter long. Maybe there is s good reason but maybe not. I don't know.
