Dairy NZ is standing it's ground and asking for a major shake-up of the government's proposed emissions pricing scheme.

The policy was released for consultation last month following input from He Waka Eke Noa, a group of sector leaders.

But some representatives say as it stands, the scheme will squeeze farmers unfairly out of the sector.

DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel spoke to Corin Dann.
