Bayer joins list of carbon capture payments

[bucket]

I will say this.....piece meal trials to try to figure the right program will not work...

The calculations as to sequestering per acre are done by scientists...the price of carbon is set and going up...

Its really simple.....sequestering ACRES times PRICE OF CARBON should EQUAL the payment to farmers.


Every one else that wants a piece of the pie wants to make it complicated.



Disclaimer: I think this whole carbon thing is stupid and putting Canada's farmers at a competitive disadvantage .

The whole global warming/carbon sequestering thing needs to be killed dead right now. Sadly it like covid communism will not until governments are completely broke. Then it is gone forever.

Why?

Getting taxed out the wazoo obviously is disadvantageous, but would having carbon offset schemes really put us competitively behind?

No...I said that wrong....I should have finished my thought...If we were being paid for the carbon sequestering we might be ok but you have to remember everyone is downloading their carbon costs to us....

Fertilizer, trucking, railways, etc etc have a way to offset already...

We don't and creating a complicated system on helps the administrators and the leeches...

Example...Agristability ...those that work their can do so at their leisure while farmers have deadlines to meet ...same with agri invest - why a deadline to contribute?

Every thing gets more complicated ...

I will repeat.....sequestering acres X price on carbon/pollution = payment to farmers...

But it isn't happening and we are currently two years behind since we started paying the carbon tax on every litre....while 2 years of sequestering have not been paid for since the carbon tax went in...


It seems odd that it is easy to charge the carbon tax based on litres, but no one can come up with the simple formula for acres and sequestering???????


And farm groups keep taking their funds without accountability.

In the black soil zone if I got like the USA from Cargill. Give me 69 dollars on all I own and the 569,000.00 would work for me. Rented I don’t care.

SO while everyone fights the carbon tax....no one is engaging the government that imposed it to get an offer for the efforts farmers make environmentally...

We would rather argue about the fact that we should be paid ?

And buy into the nonsense that the province has no money while they commit 4 billion to 300 farmers .

Just called to order propane for grain drying, Trudeau/Morneau carbon tax is now 4.6 cents/litre for propane.

Will be 8.3 cents/litre in 2022!!! The Liberals have a carbon tax capture program.

Want to pay to do tillage? This is a very bad idea. We have no property rights, everyone will get rich except us. We will get regulated to death. Next thing you know it'll be "pay the man $20/acre" to harrow. Didn't this get talked about earlier this spring and contract was posted? It was loaded against the farmer. Just like the CROW the payment can disappear and the regulation stays in place. I am strongly opposed to any program especially if it gets pushed in on crop insurance and ag stab administration. Govts change and you could literally have Chuck telling you what can or can not do on your farm.

You have summed it up excellent.
What do you think would be the surcharge when a guy clears 40 acres of bush or takes out a few tree lines?

[SASKFARMER]

If I got my 500000 plus and had to pay 40000 to clear some bush on a corner. I would do it.

Farmers need to wake up companies are pushing the gov both federal and prov into a system and it's not in the farmers best interest. Farmer 10 dollars middle man 50 gov 9. WAKE UP.

Why even bother working up the bush????? Do that at home.....hahaha.
