Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) wants the federal Liberal government to institute a grain drying exemption to the carbon tax.
Starting Monday, April 1 the price of the carbon tax was set at $80 a tonne, up from $65 last year and $50 the year before that.
Even though farmers have no viable alternatives to dry grain and must use current technology to ensure that wet grain is dried, the federal government continues to burden farmers with this increasing tax, according to GFO chair Jeff Harrison.
