An Economic Analysis of Carbon Sequestration for Wheat and Grain Sorghum Production in Kansas [PDF]
This study examined the economic potential with and without carbon credit payments of two crop and tillage systems in South Central Kansas that could reduce carbon dioxide emissions and sequester carbon in the soil. Experiment station cropping practices,
