Farmers are already feeling the effects of the carbon tax for this season, and it will be even worse next year. We're talking about $45,000 more in carbon tax. What could a farmer do with that amount of money?

We just talked about sequestration, which is judged negatively and not recognized, and the corresponding carbon volumes are taxed again. What could an average farmer do with that money?
