No matter what happens to the ETS legislation, the Voluntary Carbon Market will now open in 2010. Minister Penny Wong has released a Standard for Trading in Carbon Offsets – with focus on farmers and soil carbon. The Opposition's Tony Abbott believes paying farmers for soil carbon is "Direct Action" on Climate Change. So your time is now.

YOU HAVE ONE DECISION TO MAKE:

"Do I KNOW ENOUGH to make A SAFE DECISION?"

• "How do I start measuring the carbon that we're growing?"
• "What Soil Carbon Programs are operating?"
• "What do we have to commit to?"
• "How much land should I enroll to start?"
• "What are the risks?"
• "What are the likely returns?"
• "Could we offer soil sampling services in our district?"
• "Should I register as a grower with one of the programs?"
• "Or should we wait and see?"

You can find your own answers to all these questions and more at the Practical Carbon Farming 2-Day Workshop.
