2007-2008
Nebraska Farmers Union Carbon Credit Program
The
Fall Pool enrollment for No-Till/Seeded Grasses and Legumes is open until
August 15, 2008. This will be the last opportunity to take
advantage of our ‘reachback’ provision which allows carbon sellers to sell
credits for the 2007 crop year.
Please contact the NEFU State Office by phone or email for assistance in
getting signed up.
