What impacts the credits I generate?

Sequestration rates vary based on crop type, weather and management practice
Cover crops sequester carbon more consistently year-to-year
Reduced tillage is slow to sequester carbon but accelerates over a 10-year period

How are credits priced?

Corteva guarantees $20/credit, with the potential for up to $30/credit this year
The value of carbon credits will increase with market demand
Carbon credits are measured, certified and sold through Indigo Ag’s carbon buyer network

¹Farmers are paid on the amount of carbon credits they produce. One carbon credit equals one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2E) sequestered or abated per year. Farmers participating in Corteva’s Carbon Initiative are guaranteed to receive a minimum of $20/credit (we project $30+/credit based on buyer demand). Estimated CO2E sequestered is based on state and county level estimates from a model developed by Colorado State University and USDA/NRCS. The model simulates carbon sequestration rates due to practice changes based on the predominant crops grown in each county, controlling for average weather and soil type.

²The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to address natural resource concerns and deliver environmental benefits such as improved water and air quality and increased soil health.

³This range estimate is provided by FarmRaise, a company that helps farmers easily determine eligibility and apply for hundreds of federal, state, and local farm grants and loans.
