A northern Iowa corn and soybean farmer recently entered about three-quarters of his acres into a carbon credit program.
Josh Nelson of Belmond tells Brownfield it’s through Corteva.
“In part because it didn’t seem to attach a lot of strings to it, and it was a short-term agreement (of) just two years as opposed to some of the five to ten-year arrangements that some of these other companies have offered.”
Nelson says the program ties closely to many of the systems he’s already using to track data, which is appealing.
