ACE was key to getting carbon sequestration farming techniques into 2018 Farm Bill

In Minnesota, the Star Tribune newspaper reports that the new $25 million program under the recently-signed Farm Bill that encourages farmers to experiment with low-till and no-till farming methods came about as a result of the American Coalition for Ethanol working together with the National Corn Growers Association and the Natural Resources Defense Council working together to get the program passed. The details of the project are still being developed by the USDA but is likely to include data sharing in exchange for funding to help off-set investments in equipment that will allow for the use of “old becomes new again” farming techniques.
