Farmers say they're ahead of the pack when it comes to cutting emissions
Their alternative to the Emissions Trading Scheme recommends letting farmers count their emissions and get a discounted levy for making reductions or planting trees.
They say their plan would lead to methane reduction of between four and 5.5 percent.
Dairy NZ farmer-elected director Jacqueline Rowarth told Mike Hosking they're doing their best to reduce emissions.
She says New Zealand goods are already the best in the world "per bite", which is what consumers overseas want.
