Make the Federated Farmers pay for it?

They already have. Has anyone explained rates and taxes to you?

Rather than making Federated Farmers pay for road repairs for this climate disaster and all future climate disasters I am prepared to accept a fine equal to their yearly revenue, this year and every year in perpetuity.

See, I'm a reasonable man, I can compromise.
