To give you the most complete premium carbon credit generation and payment process, Locus AG has partnered with two of the best in the industry. All carbon credits are sold through an exclusive agreement with Anew™ Climate – one of the largest carbon project developers in the world, and payments are financed upfront by Green Star Royalties, Ltd. All CarbonNOW farmers have to do is generate premium carbon credits, then Anew and Green Star Royalties take care of the rest!

With CarbonNOW, there are no sign-up or program fees. The only expense you will have is the purchase cost of our biological products. But when you consider that participation in our program includes free annual soil sampling and complimentary data collection services, plus higher yields and increased ROI thanks to our biologicals, you’ll find the benefits far exceed the initial product cost.

CarbonNOW has a very high eligibility rate because our biological products are approved as an additionality. This means that even if you have not historically been eligible for other programs (as a long time cover cropper, practicing reduced tillage, etc.), you may be eligible for our program.

We welcome farmers who have already participated in CSP, Equip, or other Conservation programs​, large landowners or land management companies​, and growers/operators in transition of practice change implementation​.

Our current program is designed for row crop farmers – corn, wheat/cereals, soybean, cover crops, cotton, etc. We also require farms to have 500 acres or more to participate.

CarbonNOW has two enrollment periods – spring and fall. Our spring data deadline is February 15, and our fall deadline is August 15. This allows us enough time to complete data collection and schedule soil sampling. Data collection and soil sampling must both be done before you can receive payment.

CarbonNOW requires 3-5 years of historical data. This can be provided digitally or with hard copies. Locus AG’s team members are trained to take the heavy lifting of data collection from the farmer, allowing you to focus more on your operation.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and Bulk Density (BD) tests are taken every year, along with carbon modeling to get the full scope of data available. All of this is performed at no expense to you! Samples are taken at a 12-inch depth annually to provide a highly accurate carbon reading.

Performance bonuses are offered based on carbon sequestration data retrieved from the annual soil testing. Locus AG biologicals are shown to increase SOC, which also increases the likelihood and amount of performance bonuses farmers receive.

As a member of CarbonNOW, you’ll purchase and use Locus AG biologicals throughout the length of the program.

Locus AG biologicals drive higher yields by introducing vital, beneficial microbes directly onto the seed at the time of planting. Our products are mixed with talc and graphite and can be placed directly into your hopper box. Because they are applied at planting, the microbes become active at germination, and you’ll begin to reap the benefits at Time Zero.

All of this leads to quicker time to harvest, increased yields, and increased ROI.
