Carbon Markets: Should farmers participate?
A growing number of start-ups are offering farmers compensation for the generation of agricultural carbon credits. Large corporations purchase credits in pursuit of reducing their environmental footprints. The Growing Climate Solutions Act of 2021 cleared the US Senate June 24th making way for the development of a voluntary market in agricultural credits derived from prevention, reduction, or mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
While the Act creates a voluntary certification program managed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), there is still much unknown about the feasibility of developing new ecosystem services markets for farmers.
In this edition of the Levi Lyle Podcast, guest Ruth McCabe, Conservation Agronomist with Heartland Cooperative, offers clarity and insight into the question, “Should farmers participate?”

ICE SAGE: Living and Loving the Land Poems by Levi Lyle
This collection of poems offers an intriguing glimpse into the reflections of a young organic farmer with a mind as fertile as the Iowa soil he nurtures. These are not simple homespun rhymes, but poems that express a discerning array of insights and emotions elicited by life close to the land. There is grief over the appalling loss of family farms and our bankrupt wildlife; admiration of the prairie, where “perennials reign”; anger and despair over the damage done to soil, food, and human health by Big Ag; and humor and delight in the imagery of kids as “shoelace seed-savers,” soil microbes “taking winter siesta,” and many others. There is (justified) cynicism here, but there is also a good deal of hope in the authors determination to farm and live in a healthier way. —Kathy Woida, author of (Iowa’s Remarkable Soils: The Story of Our Most Vital Resource and How We Can Save It.)
