Following on from our last blog, we are looking at how to generate income from no-till beyond the savings identified in our last blog.
ESUS Agri is a partner of Soil Capital Carbon and works with farmers throughout South West England who are taking up the Soil Capital Carbon Offer. At present farmers have lots of questions about carbon schemes . In the last issue of Direct Driller Magazine (https://www.directdriller.com/latest-issue/), Andrew Voysey, Head of Sales and Carbon at Soil Capital Limited writes about 10 questions farmers ask. He concludes:
“But new revenues from carbon should be seen as the cherry on the cake of practice change. Even more significant are the cost savings and operational resilience that can be achieved as soil health is continuously improved.
There are plenty of other questions that we field from farmers about the carbon markets and our particular programme every day. You should be full of such questions and you should do your due diligence carefully.
But with the right perspective on how to navigate the offers that are emerging, this does not need to be overwhelming or paralysing. On the contrary, an exciting world of new opportunity is emerging and there are plenty of reasons why it makes sense to get involved sooner rather than later.
