North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne is in Dubai for the UN Climate Change Conference. Watne is part of a delegation of rural farm organizations, representing the National Farmers Union. “We can be part of a solution but farmers and ranchers need to be compensated for what we do,” said Watne. “Farmers are really good stewards of land and some of the things we’re doing already is accomplishing this, but it can’t be with what I call the stick method; it needs to be the carrot method.”
