The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investing $10 million in a new initiative to sample, measure and monitor soil carbon on Conservation Reserve Program acres to better quantify the climate outcomes of the program. This initiative will begin implementation in fall of 2021.
This announcement comes as part of a broader, long-term soil carbon monitoring effort across agricultural lands that supports USDA’s commitment to deliver climate solutions to agricultural producers and rural America through voluntary, incentive-based solutions.
