This Week in Ag #5
It’s Commodity Classic week. This is one of the ag industry’s most important shows, and among my favorite times of the year.

Launched with plenty of fanfare, and hailed by celebrities and politicians alike, carbon credits seemed to represent a modern-day gold rush. Yet we’re multiple years in, and adoption sits at about 1-3% of farmers. Why
