#ShowYourReceipts - it’s time for Canadian agriculture to share its story loud and clear

How much have you paid in carbon taxes for essential farming operations such as drying grain, heating barns and greenhouses, irrigating land, or preparing feed?

The Agriculture Carbon Alliance (ACA) has launched a campaign around that question asking producers to show the impact the carbon tax is having on their operations.

The '#ShowYourReceipts' encourages producers to upload their receipts showing the carbon tax portion of the bill.

The ACA website says the #ShowYourReceipts campaign is our chance to set the record straight with legislators and show the cost of the carbon tax on Canadian farmers, growers, and ranchers.

Setting the Record Straight

Ottawa is a long way from the farm gate – it’s time to bridge that gap. Let’s show Senators and Members of Parliament the real impact this tax has on your daily operations.

Over the last two months, you’ve sent over 8,000 letters to Senators and the Prime Minister’s office, now It’s time to #ShowTheReciepts. We’re seeking your crucial input.

From there, we will be compiling, analyzing, and anonymizing this data (using only your first name, province and commodities you produce) to present it directly to Senators, MPs and Ministers.
