Wayne Langford: Federated Farmers President says lower Methane targets are scientific, not idealistic

Assurance for farmers with the latest methane target update. 

The Government's set the 2050 targets to 14 to 24-percent below 2017 levels - which is 24 to 47-percent lower than the previous. 

Federated Farmers President Wayne Langford told Mike Hosking they'd been advocating for lower, but this at least gives farmers a clear direction of travel. 

He says the numbers are scientific rather than idealistic, which is good for farmers. 

Langford says it's measurable, and they're on track to achieve it.
