The federal price on carbon is adding hundreds, even thousands of dollars to energy bills for Saskatchewan farmers as they dry their grain.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Opposition leader Ryan Meili found a piece of common ground on Wednesday — they want Ottawa to remove the carbon tax from farmers drying their grain.
Meili sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, requesting the removal of the extra charges farmers have been racking up on their energy bills. Meili said the wet year has made it necessary for farmers to burn fuel to dry their grain.
