Add your name to the carbon credit offsets for western Canadian agriculture petition

Apr 19, 2021
Saskatchewan grain farmers who use minimal tillage or low-soil disturbance cropping systems learned last week that they could be shut out of the emerging and potentially lucrative market for agricultural offsets. Under a government framework for carbon offsets being proposed by the provincial government, offset protocols will be developed and implemented in Saskatchewan, allowing farmers, ranchers and land managers to produce and sell offsets in exchange for adopting environmentally friendly management practices. But according to sources familiar with the issue, minimum-till or low-soil disturbance cropping systems likely won’t be eligible. 
 
Politicians have the ability to offer counter credits to the carbon tax.
