We sat down with Kyle Henry, an Ohio rancher, who is also an Agoro Carbon Alliance member. We chat about the early onboarding process from a rancher's perspective to help others understand what exactly happens after a carbon contract is signed. He transports us to Uhrichsville, Ohio or as he says "a little slice of heaven." Kyle shares his family farm history, the transition from raising dairy to beef cattle, and his current acres of pasture enrolled in the Agoro Carbon program. Kyle takes us through the onboarding phase of our carbon program from the data collection points like herd size and pregnancy rate to the anticipation of his soil sample results.

This week we borrowed Markus Braaten, Market Development Manager of Digital Agronomy, from our parent company: Yara International. Yara is a respected global leader in soil fertility solutions. Markus discusses alongside Agoro Carbon’s Science Agronomist, Seth Urbanowitz, the topic of Nitrogen (N) use efficiency and Nitrogen's role in the carbon market. Together they cover topics like: How N use efficiency can increase yield, reduce emissions, and lower input costs for farmers when adopting conservation practices N removal vs. reduction Carbon emission avoidance  If you have comments or suggestions, please visit our website or call 888-224-7423.

According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, more than 80% of Texas has been facing drought conditions most of the year, and some areas for much longer. Prolonged drought can lead to crop loss, heat stress and limited feed availability for livestock, as well as increased risk of wildfires. In this episode we discuss drought conditions: how to help mitigate them, what does drought mean for your crops and soil health, and how does is impact carbon sequestration. Our guest are Texas-based agronomist Travis Kidd and Nebraska-based science agronomist John Shanahan. If you have comments or suggestions, please visit our website or call 888-224-7423.
