Subject: Re: Organic Farming Beats No-Till?
Hi All:
I'm working on a story about the Chicago Climate Exchange's new deadline
for farmer participation this year. The Exchange, as many of you know,
pays farmers for 'carbon-credits' that they get for no-till farming on
their land. They they trade them on the exchange.
I wonder, are any organic farmers planning to take part in the Climate
Exchange this year? (the deadline is in mid-August). Because no-till
is one of the ways to get money, it would seem to me difficult for
organic farmers to participate (somewhat ironic). =20
But then I came across John here...and thought I'd better ask.
Thanks,
Janet
