No-Till, Alfalfa and Seeded Grass

Not all agricultural land is eligible for carbon credit. Generally speaking, no-till credits may be paid to operators who commit to using conservation tillage practices for the entire term of a five-year contract. Hayland and alfalfa should also be enrolled as "no-till". Seeded grass stands may earn credits provided the acres have an FSA cropping history and the grasses were seeded after JANUARY 1, 1999.

Do I Qualify?

Take a few minutes to follow through the Questions below and study the FSA 578 tutorial. Please remember carbon sequestration is not for everyone. Producers may have some acres that qualify for each type of offset, and many acres that do not qualify at all. Also, you need NOT enroll your entire farm.

Which of the following best describes your acres?
FSA cropland in continuous conservation tillage (no-till) OR, FSA cropland planted to perennial forage (hayed annually).
FSA cropland seeded to CRP, CREP, wildlife habitat or other long-term grass stand (very limited haying or grazing) AND was seeded AFTER JANUARY 1, 1999.
