As combines start cooling down and planners begin thinking ahead to 2026, it’s also a good time to look at new ways to add value on the farm. One area getting plenty of attention lately is the carbon credit market and how it could fit into long-term management plans for Iowa farmers and ranchers.
Clay Craighton, agronomist with Agoro Carbon Alliance, says fall is a prime opportunity to explore what programs like theirs can offer producers who are already looking ahead to the next crop year.
He adds that there are certain requirements when it comes to getting started.
There are also a few ways producers can structure their payments to fit their farm’s needs.
And for those who like to plan ahead, Craighton says this is the right season to start those conversations.
