I enrolled 1000acres with LoamBio through Streamline Ag. It's a 5yr commitment using a $10 planterbox product. The ground is soil sampled for sequestered carbon every 2 years and we are credited the tons to an account where we can sell them to companies. Loam doesn't collect a percentage of our payment, instead they get a portion of the carbon we sequestered, I liked that component because loam shares some skin in the game, if Carbon credits are worthless they also don't make any money.
I got to talk to a grower that made a carbon credit sale this year and he made an average of $175 per acre, subtract the $20 for the product over two years, I thought $155 per acre sounded pretty good. I guess we'll see. I've spent $10 per acre on dumber things for sure.
I thought my buddy told me that loam also gets 40% of that credit payment too? Also, what happens if you sign up and the market goes to crap? The big beautiful trump bill halted the requirements for some industries needing to buy credits. That would decrease demand and maybe lower the carbon credit price?
