Farmers seek state compensation for clearing restrictions
29 Nov 2004
The Australian Farm Institute accused state governments of unjustly restricting many farming practices in the interests of reducing or offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, while state governments continue to build coal-fired power stations. The AFI estimate the lost production to farms from restrictions on land clearing at more than $600 million. The AFI said governments and their energy companies should pay farmers for forested farmland.
