00:01:05 – Understanding Carbon Credits, Part One: We start today’s show with a two-part conversation on carbon credits with post-doctoral fellow in the Agricultural Economics Department here at K-State, Micah Cameron Harp. Our first segment begins with the basics of what a carbon credit is, how they are utilized, and what it looks like to take advantage of the carbon market as an agricultural producer.
00:12:18 – Understanding Carbon Credits, Part Two: In part two, Micah shares insight on how credits are generated and the different factors that can impact producer return on investment in these programs. It’s a newer market for agriculture and there is so much to learn!
