There's a belief many farmers will be feeling disappointed and betrayed after a report to Parliament on the ban of carbon forestry. 

The Environment Select Committee’s recommendations show carbon farms across productive farmland, won't be coming to a stop. 

Currently under the Emission Trading Scheme there's a ban on whole-farm conversions for land that's not used for beef and sheep farming. 

Federated Farmers forestry spokesperson Richard Dawkins told Mike Hosking this still puts beef and sheep at risk of full conversions. 

He says there's less export income without a productive meat industry.
