Description
It's the quiet part of the season at Jason Vander Kooy's Mount Vernon dairy farm, but he still burns through 250 gallons of diesel on an average day.
"It is something that we need and, to be charged extra for it, that's the frustrating part," says Jason.
This year, a fuel surcharge attached to the state's Climate Commitment Act went into effect -- designed to cut greenhouse emissions through a carbon capturing plan.
