Welcome to the Farmers Union Carbon Credit Program
ATTENTION
AS OF JANUARY 30, 2009, RANGELAND CARBON CREDIT CONTRACTS WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE "LOOKBACK" CREDITS TO 2003. CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER JANUARY 30, 2009 WILL BE FOR 2008-2013, WITH PROPER DOCUMENTATION OF ADHERENCE TO THE PRESCRIBED GRAZING SYSTEM DURING 2008!
This site provides the information that you need about earning income from various conservation practices on your farm or ranch. Some of these practices you may already be doing, or you may be thinking of making some cropping or land use changes. In either case, the annual sale of carbon credits may bring additional dollars to your operation, and also help our environment.
The Farmers Union Carbon Credit Program utilizes on-line enrollment exclusively. You will set up an account, enter your acres into our database, and send supporting documentation to us. An application is not considered unless all steps are complete.
Please take the time to read this General Information.

We offer continuous on-line enrollment for all offset types. We "bundle" enrollments into large pools, and all new enrollments will be in pools that close in Spring, 2009.

While the carbon credit program is available through National Farmers Union, North Dakota Farmers Union acts as the fiscal agent actually contracting and selling the carbon offsets on the Chicago Climate Exchange. That is why links from the National Farmers Union and other state Farmers Union organizations all connect to the ndfu.org website, and the contract language refers to the ND Farmers Union. Income earned from aggregating acres in all other states will result in revenue paid to individual state Farmers Union groups and National Farmers Union.
