Carbon Credits / Regenerative Ag

Land + soil-carbon credits — new asset class with tax overlay.

Overview

Farmland or grazing operations that adopt regenerative practices (no-till, cover crops, rotational grazing) generate verified carbon credits sold to corporate buyers (Microsoft, Shopify) at $15–$50/tonne. Stacks with §180 fertility deduction, conservation easement, and USDA cost-share programs. Real-yield land play with ESG upside.
