What is the Agricultural Soil Carbon Sequestration Offset program?
Grasses and crops have the ability to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass. When land is managed with specific practices, grasses and crops have the ability to store more CO2. The Agricultural Soil Carbon Sequestration Offset program allows farmers to enroll their rangeland, no-till land, and grassland so that they may earn offsets from their land practices. These earned offsets are referred to as carbon credits.
