Worries for farmers about a pending announcement from the Government.

Newstalk ZB understands the Government will this morning announce its response to the He Waka Eke Noa report, which proposes an industry-wide emissions pricing scheme.

It's likely to accept key recommendations, which would include farmers calculating and paying for their own emissions from 2025.

Southland Federated Farmers Vice President Bernadette Hunt told Mike Hosking she and many other farmers are concerned about what the announcement will contain.
