and Pending Legislation

The implications of climate change and pending legislation to address this subject are hot topics in many agricultural circles. We will have two experts on-hand for an expanded version of our monthly luncheon on September 24 at the American Royal. Our speakers will include:
· Dr. Ray Massey, agricultural economist, Commercial Agriculture Program, University of Missouri. Dr. Massey has authored several papers on the topic of climate change, including “Agriculture and Greenhouse Gas Emissions” and “Introduction to Greenhouse Gas Markets and Cap-and-Trade.” Click here to view Dr. Massey's presentation.

Dave Miller, chief science officer, AgaGate Climate Credits Corporation, and director of Research and Commodity Services Division, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. Dave has been instrumental in developing carbon credit protocols for agriculture and developing the contracts and aggregations services so that producers can participate in carbon programs.
