Duncan Macalister farms 2000 acres at Glenbarr Farms in the Kintyre Peninsula on a remote part of West Scotland.
Macalister is a member of the Scottish Farmers Union and recently won his first piece of silverware at the Royal Highland Show.
With rising concerns around the world about the impact of climate change, a lot of focus is on reducing emissions coming from the agriculture sector in particular.
In Scotland, the use of Asulox, a herbicide used to control bracken has been banned because of the risk is poses to environmental and human health which Macalister said has not been well received by the agricultural sector.
"It's not like the farmers that use it are spraying willy nilly.they're doing it very modestly," he said.
"It's causing a fury in the Scottish Agriculture politics.there's more and more of this type of stuff coming."
The European Union recently gave approval for the Dutch Government to essentially buy out farms to reduce nitrogen emissions. Macalister is concerned that this sort of legislation will reduce the production of essential meats and proteins that are feeding massive populations and can't see where this food is going to come from if so many farms slow down or stop production.
"A line share of farmers in Europe do not pollute, they don't deliberately pollute anything but where is all of this food going to come from?
"We want to keep the climate stable and not have these huge fluctuations but this idea that agriculture is at fault is absolute bollocks."
As someone who grew up in Kintyre, Macalister told George the atmosphere is a lot cleaner than when he was a child.
He believes that farmers are an easy target but get unfairly blamed when it comes to their actual impact on the climate.
"There's only 1% or 2% of us left feeding the 98% so let's bash a farmer because we can and it's easy.
"There's so few of us doing it now and they can do what they like to farmers and we can't do anything about it."
