The Government's farming emissions proposal is proving to be divisive.
Yesterday's announcement adopted many recommendations from the industry-led He Waka Eke Noa report.
It includes farmers paying for their own emissions from 2025, keeping the agriculture sector outside the Emission's Trading Scheme.
National Party Agriculture Spokesperson, Barbara Kuriger told Gold Sport the Government's taken to the industry's plan with a sledgehammer.
Meanwhile Climate Change Minister, James Shaw told Mike Hosking he wants to clear up concerns some farmers have about emissions pricing.
“The commission won’t actually be setting the price, they’ll be advising on the price. Ministers will set the price finally.”
