LANCASTER – South Glengarry council is supporting a move by a southwestern Ontario agricultural advisory board to have the federal government exempt farmers from the carbon tax.
Council agreed to support the Norfolk County Agricultural Advisory Board’s application during its meeting Tuesday night to exempt “primary agricultural producers.” The application is also supported by the Sarnia-area town of Plympton-Wyoming.
