When are they starting to charge to breathe air?
Only time??

Do you have any more info on where you can sell them? And how you are required to prove your sequestration?If you are carbon negative you can sell your carbons for £17 each at the moment. So might work in our favour to have a scheme that tracks them.

Can you share any more on your meetings Clive? How we prove our sequestration? Where we can sell our carbon offsetting? Very keen to keep exploring!Farming carbon is our future
Stop mourning the inevitable loss of subs - we don’t need them
Most farmers have no idea what they are sat on and how bright their future is - carbon is the new oil !
Had a lot of interesting meetings about this recently
Could we not form a group as farmers? I realise working together and sticking together is a typically ‘British farmer’ problem... so maybe not ? But if you got the right like minded individuals together...And there in lie the problems. There doesn't seem to be an approved scheme for monitors and you have to be part of a group to sell. We were approached by bond market guy about forming such a thing.

How is your carbon assessment done caveman? And the protein going off farm, for say lamb... is that just liveweight and standard figures?What we do is, get assessed as to what the nett carbon footprint of a kilo of such as protien is at the farm gate, whether that protien is in the form of lamb, beef, dairy, peas or Kenyan beans.
It is then down to the retailers to add on their own carbon cost of getting the product to their shelves..
Not quite farming in my own right but certainly intend to be in the future so would be very interested.... there must be scope to tap up some ag tech funding in order to aid recording and calculating carbon sequestration etc... both software and hardwareYes and its something we are thinking of for TFF. As all things, it then gets complicated. But very much fits in with Direct Driller Magazine as well.
There are a couple of pilot projects just started in Devon aiming to profile soil carbon stores, with some big companies involved looking to offset their carbon emissions. The project is bringing the two together with the ultimate aim of paying farmers for their carbon storage/sequestration.Not quite farming in my own right but certainly intend to be in the future so would be very interested.... there must be scope to tap up some ag tech funding in order to aid recording and calculating carbon sequestration etc... both software and hardware
Middle child is allergic to dairy so drinks this. No idea if the numbers are accurate... View attachment 828671View attachment 828672
I really have no idea, but suspect it accounts for manufacturing and transport from grain store to supermarket.So we see in the blurb on the package back, that Co2 generated from farm to store, is quoted on the front.
Can we take that as from the beginning of the whole process of getting the oats grown and to shop shelf?
Or is it from farm store to shop shelf?
DO you have names of the projects? It sounds like a great start!There are a couple of pilot projects just started in Devon aiming to profile soil carbon stores, with some big companies involved looking to offset their carbon emissions.

The problem is that there is no quick, easy way of profiling soil carbon across a farm. Every field and soil type are likely to be different and will need retesting regularly to see any change. Currently the protocol involves a lot of digging and sampling at various depths = time consuming and expensive.
It's very early days and is really just dipping the toe in to see if the principle is sound and workable, but there are some big names willing to invest. There just needs to be a machine that can measure and map SOC quickly and cheaply.
