Carbon Scam?

[jazz]

Someone posted that link a few months ago. I threw my info in for the hell of it. Now this comes back. is any of this legit?

Attached a contract too.

They should just run it through Crop insurance...they have the history of the farm ....

Are you going to do it?No idea what you will get paid and you might have give them money?

[tweety]

OMG, have you actually read that contract? Especially 3d.

I am not going to do anything. Literally got this 30 minutes ago.

Now you can see why there will probably never be a carbon credit program for farmers if this is the kind of thing that is going to be the norm.

That contract would have come in handy in the toilet paper aisle of the grocery store when TP was always sold out.

Company behind it. Located in Calgary. https://radiclebalance.com/

Just skimming the contract now. This looks like a scam to get control of the credits and then bring up some minor incidence to invoke producer default and then cut them out of the equation.

This company should probably be reported.

And this is what passes for climate action.

Price of carbon pollution should equal the price of carbon sequestered. ...

So if they measure my carbon pollution by the liters I buy ....then they should pay me the same for the offsetting I do....


Unless I am simple

Please don't use the term carbon pollution, that just gives credibility to the anti science politicians and Chuck. Pollution would indicate that it has some type of harmful properties, Poisonous, carcinogenic, dangerous to health, visual, or audible, Such as the actual carbon pollution that was a big problem over a century ago when Soot covered every major city. Or the untol tons of lead released into our environment(and still haunting us) from leaded gas. Harmless, beneficial CO2 emissions do not fit any of the definitions of pollution.

Sounds like the same aggregator I dealt with many years ago, carbon credit solutions. Seems to me I got $1.69 an acre. The issues I had were both the landlord I rented the land from and myself had to sign the agreement. Some landlords wanted a share. I also believe your maximum soil disturbance was 40%. So 10 inch spacing, 4 inch opener which isn’t a problem for most people. But realistically if you did any cultivating to fix ruts or remediate low wet areas that acreage had to be removed. Jazz in this particular program it looks like the aggregator makes more money than the farmer. Only did it for a couple years and didn’t think it was worth the trouble. They may have streamlined the process by now, this was roughly 10 years ago.

That clause 3d as pointed out looks like a deal break though. Did they have that?

Its just sad that everyone is raping this climate change scam and the only guys on the planet actually sequestering carbon every year get zero recognition and then fked for good measure.

[blackpowder]

Been with for a while now. Taken over from Viterra I believe.
It's free money regardless of an arse wipe contract. No effort. Some land not included because of landlord. VT doesn't pay so what.
Anybody doing better can chime in.

The USA Cargill has a gram and. PayS the USA farmer $67.00 Canadian an acre and rules aren’t even close to the Bs in the Above document

In canada it’s always parasites trying to screw the farmer.

$1.69 vs $67.00

Yea great deal
