How much have you paid in carbon taxes for essential farming operations such as drying grain, heating barns and greenhouses, irrigating land, or preparing feed?
The Agriculture Carbon Alliance (ACA) has launched a campaign around that question asking producers to show the impact the carbon tax is having on their operations.
The '#ShowYourReceipts' encourages producers to upload their receipts showing the carbon tax portion of the bill.
The ACA website says the #ShowYourReceipts campaign is our chance to set the record straight with legislators and show the cost of the carbon tax on Canadian farmers, growers, and ranchers.
