The Iowa Farm Bureau is hosting an informative webinar on the growing trend of carbon farming. Scheduled for May 29, 2024, at 1:00 PM CST, the event will feature Dr. Alejandro Plastina, an Associate Professor and Extension Economist from Iowa State University's Department of Economics.
This webinar aims to update farmers on the current status of soil carbon farming programs. Attendees will learn about the potential benefits and costs of participating in these programs and gain insights into the essential questions they should consider before enrolling.
The discussion will delve into how participation in carbon farming programs might interact with other emerging carbon initiatives, such as insets, tax credits like SAF or 45Z, and the "supply shed" approach. These insights will help farmers understand the economic implications and potential impacts on their bottom line.
Dr. Alejandro Plastina, known for his expertise in agricultural economics, will lead the session. His insights are expected to provide valuable guidance on the short- and long-term economic aspects of these programs.
