[QUOTE="JockCroft, post: 8263664, member: 166068"] Have been looking into having an audit. Has to be an accredited person carrying out but different organisations seem to use differing basis for their results. Found one instance on line where an audit calculations were based on field map area's , but did not include carbon capture from hedgerows, which this person had miles. Does a sq. m of hedge not capture more carbon than grass. Do they include carbon generated by farm transport? On farm, between units, stock to market? Green Road. used occasionaly by vechicle, mostly grass, seems favoured grazing by sheep. Is carbon captured by that area included although excluded from single farm payment? I usually use SAC but not convinced will have value for costs. Final question, Why is Carbon offsetting allowed to be transferred outwith the area where it is absorbed/produced? I.E. Carbon absorbed by plants in one County, offsetting carbon pollution by a plane flying to America. It appears that any one owning land with vegetation may make a little money, but if you sell a crop produced by that land, you will be taxed on it E. I love asking stupid questions. [/QUOTE]
