Controlled-Release N, P & K Fertilizer Management in Strip-Till 30” Rows and No-Till 15″ Rows for High-Yield Soybeans
This project aims to better understand how strategic nutrient management can impact soybean yield across northern and central Illinois. It will evaluate different nutrient strategies under no-till, strip-till, 15” rows, 30” rows, with cover crops, and without cover crops. Data will be used to inform future year trials and ultimately provide farmers with best management practices for nutrient management in soybean crops. Learn More

I adopted carbon sequestering practices on my farm in the past. Can I be paid for them?
If you adopted one of the qualifying practices before joining the carbon market, you may be able to receive payment for those years you implemented those practices before joining the carbon program. Some companies allow you to go back a limited number of years and get paid for a practice you have adopted (usually between two and five years).
Will I need to invest in new technologies or platforms?
Some companies may require a technology investment from you, such as requiring that you pay for a subscription to the company’s online platform. Some other questions to consider: Who will be visiting my farm to verify the information? How often will someone need to visit my farm? What are the penalties if I discontinue the sequestration project before the end of the contract? How is the price that my credits sell for set? Is there a limit on the total number of acres I can enroll?
How often does the data need to be reported?
There are often a specific number of times you will have to report the data and provide soils samples. A third-party verifier may have to visit the farm at a specified period as well.
Is there a limit to the number of credits per acre?
Some companies limit the number of carbon credits you can receive per acre. For example, if the company limits you to two carbon credits per acre, and you adopt a practice that sequesters more than two metric tons of carbon per acre, you may not receive the full payment from the carbon they are sequestering.
What happens if the land ownership changes hands?
There could be penalties for the contract holder if the land is rented out or sold during the contract and the tenant or purchaser does not follow the agreed-upon sequestration practices.
How many years does the contract last?
Please review the contract length for current market opportunities available in this document.
How much will it cost to sell my carbon credits?
You will have to pay a fee for soil sampling or third-party verification, although some companies may cover these costs. There may be additional fees such as administrative, registration, insurance, and/or transaction fees depending on the agreement.
Can the carbon credits be stored? If so, how long can they be stored for?
Some companies may allow carbon credits to be banked and sold later in case the market price goes up.
