The Carbon and Data Guidebook was released in 2022 and provides farmers with information on the basics of emerging carbon and ecosystem programs, farm data needs associated with enrolling in one of these programs, and tips for farmers to best position themselves for success if they choose to enroll in a data-driven program or initiative. The Guidebook has received over 400 online views and is accessible on ILSoyAdvisor.com, along with additional information around the carbon and ecosystem market space, in a section called CarbonSense. For farmers and advisors looking for a deeper understanding of carbon markets, CarbonSense provides helpful graphics and descriptions, terminology, FAQs, and tips for transitioning to a soil health focused management system, including minimum tillage to no-tillage, cover crops, and nutrient management. Additionally, a four-episode podcast series under the CarbonSense name was released in 2022, covering topics like the science behind carbon, conservation best practices, carbon market opportunities, and crucial carbon market questions.
