Conservation Planning - COMET-FARM™ , Webinar, 8/13/14, CRPRI *

The Comet-Farm (CF) tool is a whole farm and ranch carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting system. This webinar introduces participants to on-farm GHG emissions, how they are calculated, and the existing and potential future values associated with productivity, government accounting, corporate sustainability, and the environment. It also describes how the CF tool accounts for GHGs in crop, livestock, pasture and forestry systems, as well as how it can be used to evaluate GHG changes as a CRP field is potentially converted to a grazing system, biomass production, corn/soy cropping system or if it is re-enrolled in CRP.
