Farm foundation forum"Solving the Barriers to Agricultural Carbon Markets" will cover what still needs to be done to advance carbon markets.

The panel will be completed by Shelby Myers, Economist with the American Farm Bureau, and Dr. Garth Boyd, Partner at The Context Network (who provided consultation services to the Carbon Sequestration Task Force organized by Gov. Reynolds).
