Farmland

SunOne helps farmland owners and managers participate in the carbon markets. The three main ways for farmers to earn carbon credits are:

  • Fertilizer Management: Farmers who reduce their use of nitrogen-based fertilizers on farmland can be eligible.
  • No-Till Farming: In most cases, farmland that employs continuous conservation tillage (no-till or strip-till) is eligible. Planned future tillage of the farmland will generally make the land ineligible.
  • CRP: Land that has been enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is also eligible if the seeding date took place after January 1, 2003.

Each project type requires unique steps and documentation before carbon credits can be earned and SunOne will lead land managers through the process.
