Why should farmers care about greenhouse gas regulations?
... Although agriculture isn’t subject to a cap, it can create and sell credits. This has the potential to offset the increase farmers would see in their operations. These offsets could come in the form of cropping methods – like conservation tilling, no-till and strip-till, which have the potential to se ...
