[QUOTE="slackjawedyokel, post: 8320880, member: 34254"] The ‘big chain’ abattoir I sell my fat cattle to phoned me up a couple of weeks ago requesting I do a carbon audit (paid for by them/supermarkets, but needing up to 5hrs of my time). I strongly declined. I suspect that the next scam would be the supermarket cherrypicking the ‘good bits’ of my carbon balance (mainly carbon sequestration under grass) for themselves to offset their own emissions leaving me to buy in carbon credits to offset my farms emissions (ruminants,ploughing to sow crops, diesel etc) I believe my farm will be on average around carbon neutral most years (my 450ac may even build up carbon to more than offset my diesel useage of ~6Kl/yr). That should be as far as the conversation goes. To give a supermarket 5hrs worth of detail on my carbon useage would be like the mouse explaining its movements in great detail to the cat. It must not be allowed to happen. [/QUOTE]
