[MPWG] carbon credits

[cafesombra at aol.com]

Forwarded from Pennsylvania Assoc. for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA):

Hello PASA Members and Associates,
 
The National Farmers Union has earned approval from the Chicago Climate Exchange to aggregate carbon credits. Farmers Union will enroll producer acreages of carbon into blocks of credits that will be traded on the Exchange, much like other agricultural commodities are traded. To learn more about this program, visit: http://www.nfu.org/issues/environment/carbon-credits/.  

This site provides the information that you need about earning income from various conservation practices on your farm or ranch. Some of these practices you may be already doing, or you may be thinking of making some cropping or land use changes. In either case, the annual sale of carbon credits may bring additional dollars to your operation, and also help our environment. If you have questions about the program, please contact the Farmers’ Union representatives whose contact information appears on the site.
