Nebraska farmer interested in carbon markets says enrollment can be a hassle

A Western Corn Belt farmer says she’s interested in a carbon credit program, but wasn’t sure the payoff was worth her time.

Susan Nelson tells Brownfield she began the process last year and stopped because she needed to provide six years of detailed farm data.  “They wanted like the 578 from the Farm Service Agency because that’s what was planted where.  They wanted to know what you had done for tillage. I’m trying to remember if they wanted anything to do with yields and stuff.
