A new carbon partnership to help livestock farmers

Agoro Carbon Alliance and Graze Master have announced a partnership to help farmers and ranchers cash in on carbon market opportunities.

Producers who work with either organization will have access to a group of trusted advisors to help them navigate the carbon market along with implementing practices that sequester carbon, which will add farm revenue and protect farmland.

Under the partnership, Graze Master plans to assist farmers and ranchers with carbon contracts offered by Agoro Carbon. Advisors from Graze Master and Agoro Carbon agronomists will work with farmers throughout the life of their contract to implement climate-smart practice changes such as rotational grazing, nutrient management, and increasing biodiversity.

"It's time to branch out and make the positive impact we want for agriculture on both the local and global scale," says Del Ficke, Graze Master Group cofounder. "There are several carbon company partnership opportunities available, but Agoro Carbon demonstrated a high level of expertise and unmatched commitment to ensure producers' success. They are a dedicated carbon company that only strives to increase carbon sequestration, with a particular focus on pasture and rangeland acres."

In addition, these practices will provide an additional revenue stream through carbon sequestration as well as a long-term investment in soil health to support farm and ranch profitability for generations to come.
