There’s growing skepticism over carbon sequestration programs that pay farmers to adopt new practices, according to a new Farm Futures survey.
In the March survey of just over 1,000 farmers, 41% ‘completely or somewhat’ supported public or private programs that would compensate their farm for engaging in climate-friendly practices. Three out of ten said they ‘somewhat’ supported the idea, but 29% had not much, or no support, for the concept.
