I absolutely support the principle of this part of the legislation. It could be a very valuable tool in terms of putting measures in place at a later stage that would incentivise individual farms to reduce emissions. The difficulty I have with it is a fairly obvious one. What procedures are envisaged for a farmer from, for example, my county, who happens to go to a merchant? It may be across the Border, but it may be their closest merchant. What provision is in place in that instance? How will that operate?
