U.S. House Ag Committee Chairman Collin Peterson and authors of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill have reached an agreement that would allow farmers and ranchers to participate in a market-based carbon offset program. According to Peterson, the agreement also addresses concerns about indirect land-use provisions that target U.S. crop producers and exempts agriculture from the definition of a capped sector. ...Details of the agriculture agreement are not yet available.
