Representatives from Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) recently met with Manitoba Agriculture Minister Ralph Eichler to discuss the federal government's mandate to implement a carbon pricing plan.
Eichler called the meeting to discuss what the provincial PC government is calling a "Made-in-Manitoba" solution.
KAP President Dan Mazier was in attendance, along with GM James Battershill and climate project coordinator Sean Goertzen. The province's special advisor on climate change David McLaughlin was also part of the meeting.
"[We're] trying to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem," said Mazier. "We all know we as farmers sequester carbon and we know we use a lot but what does that balance look like. What should be in and what should be out?"
