Jamie Mackay: The Country host on Denmark's plan to introduce a carbon tax on agriculture

Denmark is moving ahead on plans to introduce a carbon tax on agriculture, with cattle farmers facing additional charges as a result.

The bill suggests that farmers would be taxed at 300 DKK ($70) per ton of CO2 equivalent emitted from 2030, moving to 750 DKK ($177) by 2035.

The Country's Jamie Mackay says the farmers will be unlikely to take this lying down - and they love a good protest.
