American Farm Bureau economist Shelby Myers says the carbon markets offer an additional farm revenue stream but should be approached after appropriate research.
“It’s still in the early stages,” Myers told Brownfield Ag News, “and we highly recommend that before a farmer enrolls in a program that they take a good look at the contracts ahead of time, and make sure it’s the best choice for their farm.”
Ag ecosystem credit markets are voluntary incentive-based revenue options to adopt conservation practices, said Myers, many of which are already in place.
