The exchange launched trading in December 2003 in a pilot program to allow companies to purchase carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions. This market is creating a new revenue opportunity for producers with continuously no-tilled fields and newly established grasslands; rangeland that’s been committed to an improvement program; managed reforestation or new plantings on forested land, and on-farm methane digesters. We’re proud to serve American agriculture in this emerging market and look forward to working with you… for more information, contact Steve Swaffar at swaffars@kfb.org or call 888-811-0002.
