carbon dioxide

One thing we're not short on in agriculture today is the opportunity to engage in carbon sequestration programs. Many programs are available that offer to pay farmers and landowners for adopting practices that sequester carbon dioxide to keep the pollutant out of the atmosphere.  The practice aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as carbon dioxide is a significant contributor to GHG.  Farming practices that sequester carbon include using cover crops, adopting no-till, and planting trees. 

If you're considering a carbon sequestration or carbon credit program, what do you need to know about carbon sequestration?  An upcoming program offered by OSU Extension's Energy Outreach Program will offer insight into carbon sequestration. Join us on October 29, 2024 at 8 a.m. for a webinar on "Carbon Sequestration for the Farmer and Landowner" and hear from these three panelists:

  • Michael Estadt, Assistant Professor & Extension Educator, Pickaway County
  • Peggy Kirk Hall, Attorney & Director, Agricultural & Resource Law Program
  • John Porter, Outreach & Partnership Liaison,Truterra, LLC

The panel will highlight important issues and considerations for farmers and landowners interested in carbon sequestration. Pre-registration is not necessary; simply join the webinar through this link:  go.osu.edu/carbon2024.
