An online petition has been launched to let farmers tell Ottawa how much money they are paying in carbon tax.

The President of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers says it’s very apparent on propane and natural gas bills for grain drying.

Gunter Jochum says in some cases, the carbon tax portion is as high as 43 percent of the total bill.

The petition is at www.NoFarmCarbonTax.com.

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan is also calling for a carbon tax exemption on fuel used for grain drying.
