The Carbon Conundrum

Reducing the carbon footprint and ‘green’ production is heavily incentivized for today’s farmers. “I don’t think any issue or trend is impacting our markets where folks have as many questions as they do about this carbon topic,” said Matt Perdue, government relations director, North Dakota Farmers Union. “We’re seeing a lot of companies looking for low-carbon commodities or sustainably grown commodities. These could be real pain points for producers, but they could also be real opportunities for producers.” These topics will be addressed in the NDFU Evolution Ag Summit Tuesday in Jamestown.
