Welcome to the Farmers Union Carbon Credit Program

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.

Select one of the offset types listed below for more information or to enroll your acres.

No-Till, Alfalfa / Seeded Grass Native Rangeland
Methane Forestry

Announcements

We offer continuous on-line enrollment for all offset types.  However, we periodically close an enrollment period so that the pool of enrollees can be verified.

Deadlines: Date by which acres must be enrolled online and all documentation postmarked or faxed to us.

No-till/New Grass:
Fall 2008 pool (last chance to include 2007 bonus) closes August 15, 2008.
Spring 2009 pool closes April 1, 2009

Prescribed Grazing on Native Rangeland:  
Fall 2008 pool closes August 1, 2008 (this pool may be combined with the spring 2009 pool).
Spring 2009 pool closes March 13, 2009.

Afforestation:
Spring 2009 pool closes March 6, 2009.

Attention Contract Holders:  There will NOT be a 1099 issued for Carbon Credit income. (Carbon offset income is considered a commodity sale, like grain, and 1099 forms are not issued)

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.
