The Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association is encouraging producers to take part in a federal consultation process over carbon credits. The SSCA believes farmers should get credit for practices such as zero-till farming which sequester carbon in the ground. Spencer Kemp, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
The Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association (SSCA) is calling for farmers to review the Government of Canada’s proposed Greenhouse Gas Offset Credit System regulations and provide their feedback.
The proposed regulations are currently open for comments and will remain open until May 5, 2021, for a total of 60 days.
Jocelyn Velestuk, an SSCA director, says there are points the group wants farmers to think about as they provide their feedback.
