For Sale: 2 year carbon sink $65 acre per year

Cargill already pays that to farmers in Iowa. Ok, Cargill is having a hard time making payments to farmers lately but as an example, this is exactly what farmers need to start doing.

I agree I have 10000 acres that are available for purchase by a company to help protect the environment I have records for direct-seeded carbon sink since 1984 and the work year of 2002.

Companies will try to **** farmers and liberal start-ups will be happening just watch.

This is a great example of what farmers should do.

Suckers I mean investors in the city would buy it if we spin it right.

Oh, the deal offered this past spring was a ****ing joke.

Other countries are paying 60 plus to farmers why cant Canadian farmers squeak out a profit.

If you cant beat them figure out a way to join then and play in their sandbox just have all the toys not them.

If people will buy fake currency and digital art and fake EV companies and non functioning vaccines, then why not sell them fake carbon credits. Whole world has gone of its rocker, might as well profit from stupidity.

Someone's bitter he didn't get in on Tesla shares.

Probably would have been a better investment than shorting the Cdn dollar.

Shows great initiative. My only caveat is, I really don't need anyone else looking over my shoulder at how we run our farm.

They will get food, and they will like it.

I don’t think land that is fall protilled, kelly harrowed, or fall fertilized would be eligible for carbon credits. Rules on all these things are absolutely stupid. Big companies claiming they are carbon neutral because they have a wind turbine or solar farm or buy offset credits from Quebec hydro or a farmer.

No real reduction of anything by the polluting companies, but they can provide a feel good thing to their customers with this “carbon neutral” crap.

Now perhaps if Canada would start counting its hydro projects, trees, farm land, etc against its emmisions, then we wouldn’t need to do anything to meet world goals and the carbon tax could be scrapped.

It is years ago now but there was that program through the Chicago climate exchange that paid money out. The big polluters paid farmers to direct seed so they could carry on business as usual. It was a one time deal for past practices. They used crop insurance data to prove up things. I seem to remember flax was one crop that got kicked out as the straw management practices like burning was a red flag. The outfit went out of business years ago.
As far as I am concerned lets read the fine print first on this new deal

To further enhance the carbon offset i have offered, we are well into the concept modeling for yes “another bio diesel crush facility”.

Partnering with growers/farmers through a strategic alliance, enhancing offsets through maximum efficiency, the highest quality and lowest cost per unit, the agriculture sector and provinces will provide not just a path, but a drive way to further success and sustainability.

Confidential discussions and agreements are developing rapidly. The direct sourcing through rail and truck to the Bio Energy Facility will have the lowest cost, and lowest emissions possible. The fuel produced will be shipped with the same philosophies in mind as well as the meal producing further revenue streams and business opportunities- again lowest cost and lowest emissions possible.

This model will return financial opportunities to all partners involved in this supply chain, the growth and sustainability through rapid technology advancements at every level from the soil to end user will ensure that we can maintain our pristine environment for generations to follow.

The jobs, yes taxation, spin offs, profits are part of the obligations that Canada has agreed too under the Kyoto agreement. The Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty which extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that (part one) global warming is occurring and (part two) that human-made CO 2 emissions are driving it.

Very exciting times for the agriculture sector, engineering and consultants, contractors etc and economic development for Canada.
