One of the more disingenuous ways of framing this issue. Farmers do not ‘rely on’ this satellite. At best it provides them with ancillary information about global carbon levels that ultimately has nothing to do with farming or them directly.

This can be important for pricing things like futures contracts which farmers very much do care about.
