As long as the price farmers get goes up to cover their increased expenses, farmers should be fine with a carbon tax. Not sure consumers would be happy with food prices going up. That's why carbon taxes should be accompanied by an appropriate rebate.
If the price of domestic food goes up countries will just start importing more food from countries without a carbon tax. That would really annoy farmers. So any carbon tax needs to be accompanied by carbon tariffs.
