An international expert on carbon emissions says Australian farmers should start preparing now to be ready for a carbon trading scheme.Australia will introduce a carbon reduction scheme in 2010 but farmers will not be included until 2015 at the earliest.Bill Kaye-Blake from New Zealand's Lincoln University has developed one of the world's only systems to help farmers calculate the emissions from their farms.He says after working with New Zealand farmers it's clear that cutting carbon emissions can take a long time."Seven years should be a good time for them to make some good changes, with a carbon calculator like this one, or one specific to their region if Australian researchers can come up with one, then they can look at some snapshots over time and look at how those emissions change."
