So basically a tax is the only recourse on some made up emissions measurement, just like carbon tax.

My worry is that they apply an emissions intensity cap on production and then enforce the levy when you dump in the pit. I am sure Richardson and the like would have no problem with that.

we might be forced to store both fertilizer and crop for a few yrs to get around this until sanity returns.

Was never meant to be voluntary .
Just like the carbon tax , they will continue to increase until they wipe fertilizer right out if they stay in power .

Still not see the Code of Practice as a test run?

Still not care about Senate reform?
Still can't see what OICs in a 3 city parliament can do to property rights?
Yup, no one left to give a hoot for us, we didn't stand up then. But we sure saw it coming for a while.

Farm groups ignore a lot of things and yet pat themselves on the back quite a bit.

Their biggest concern is refunds being asked for because at the end of the day its a reflection of their incompetence and their inability to listen to what farmers tell them to do.

Its important to remember these are groups that are technically employed by farmers money. They treat farmers like they are to bow down to the farm groups.

The arrogance has to stop.

Farm groups operate like liberals.

There are two resolutions that came from farmers and have gone unresolved with little to no attention in the last few years. Yet resolutions to help some board members move into fenugreek using checkoff money have been successful for two or three people.
