Farmers Union’s Carbon Credit Program allows ag producers and landowners to earn income by storing carbon in their soil through no-till crop production and longterm grass seeding practices.

If you are like me you wonder what all this carbon credit stuff is about. I have put together some links in order for FReepers to learn more. I know I did.

[crazyshrink]

:) :) My apologies. When I saw they weren’t quick links I redid them. And then added more as I went along. Live and learn. Man, you talk about all kinds of stuff to earn carbon credits to sell. Seaweed to grass to old mines. Who woulda thunk it.

Last month I attended a Timber Producer’s Seminar where one of the papers read was about a Carbon Credit Program. This was about pine trees in East Texas. The program they described, participation required land reforested between 1989 and 1992 in pine trees at 250 trees/acre.The contract was 2002-2011. Income off a 43 acre tract after brokerage,was about $4600 in “Carbon Credits”, if you could find an enviromental wacko to buy them.

So, they want to trade something that is not based on production, or actual commodities, and essentially trade it like futures. This is a giant Ponzi scheme, and once it starts selling short, it could collapse the whole system.

Farmers want in on the scam?

As I keep researching it gets better.

This is great! I can scam people by planting grass seed, sitting back, and drinking beer. /sarc

Does anyone have more info about Generation?

my first guess is that Gore wants to
get into the business of approving
carbon offset projects,

but I have no such information.
