[QUOTE="MOG, post: 8178064, member: 1649"] I have recently started working part-time for a tree planting charity offering grants to farmers to plant trees on unproductive or awkward sites or to plant new hedgerows where appropriate. Many of the farmers who approach us have $$ signs in their eyes at the thought of cashing in the carbon credits from any tree planting they carry out. We always advise against it on the grounds that a. once sold they are gone and the price is almost guaranteed to go up massively in coming years, so unless you need the money just register them and hang on tight, and b. I tell them there is a fair chance that somewhere round the corner a carbon tax is coming onto agriculture and and carbon credits you can generate would count towards offsetting it. [/QUOTE]
