NFU To Hold Press Event in Indianapolis Announcing Carbon Credit Program

The program will provide financial incentives for farmers who adopt farming practices that promote environmental stewardship.

The voluntary, private-sector carbon trading program at the Chicago Climate Exchange allows agriculture producers and landowners to earn money for cropping practices such as no-till, long-term grasslands, forestry, and other practices. These practices help store or “sequester” carbon and reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is one of six greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, producing an increase in the temperature and global warming.
