Ben Braou, from Alltech E-CO2, said dairy producers need to take the opportunity for greater profitability that comes with reducing their carbon footprint.
“Unfortunately, the significant ‘profit opportunity’ point – as a result of becoming more environmentally efficient – is often lost on many UK dairy farmers.
“We recently commissioned an independent survey of 100 milk producers randomly selected from across the country and nearly half of those interviewed (45 per cent) thought that reducing their GHG emissions would add cost to their business. What’s more, just over a quarter didn’t attach any importance at all to the issue.”
but if there like Ontario dairy guys they will be happy to support GHG bullshit if they get a check
ReplyDeleteIf farmers were really calling bullshit on the GHG stuff they'd be blocking a motorway or something like that. What I read in this article is that 45 percent just need more convincing. Given enough persuasion, whether it be cheques or threats, I am sure they will all come around like good little girls and boys.
