	Description:		Farmers will start paying for emissions by 2025. The government's gone with He Waka Eke Noa's sector consultation document - with some tweaks around the pricing scheme. There'll be two separate taxes - one for short lived greenhouse gases like methane and another for Nitrous oxide emissions - from the likes of fertiliser. The levies will be set by Cabinet on the advice of the climate commission. It's a plan neither farmers nor environmentalists are happy with. Our political reporter Anneke Smith and cameraman Angus Dreaver filed this story from Wairarapa.
