Farmers and ranchers are <1% of the US population last I heard. They could get an exemption for certain uses if they really needed it, hell we do that all the time.
Not sure where I stand on this proposal yet, but policies don't have to be all or none, though administration is far easier if they are.

- dtparr 12y agoSimilar things exist in the US. They sell dyed fuels tax-free (or at a lower rate, I forget). You can apparently also claim a tax refund if you use taxed fuel for farm purposes. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p225/ch14.html#en_US_2014_publink1000218851 http://www.irs.gov/publications/p225/ch14.html#en_US_2014_pu...
