Do you think as time goes on each farm business will have to account for its carbon emissions in the form of tractor and equipment emissions as well as livestock and also that what is released by cultivations etc . At the moment looking at GENTLE FARMING'S system to start to get my head around the whole idea.
Will it be also a case of older kit that is not as good at keeping emissions down will get penalised or the fact that less carbon is used in less need to replace things compared to what comes out of the exhausts . Been in dd now for getting on 10 years and 95% of land has a either cover crops or stubble turnips for sheep or is winter sown cash crops i.e. ww beans etc .
