How's your carbon crop?
Well if you're a farmer in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana you're "raising" about a half ton of carbon per acre. Or at least that's what you can offer for sale to polluting corporations willing to pay cash for carbon credits.

The confusion is not without good reason. The market for offsets is highly fragmented, with prices ranging wildly from as little as $1 to about $20 per tonne of carbon dioxide. Firms dealing in offsets in the UK, the global centre for trading “carbon credits”, have grown in number by 60% a year since 2002. And these firms support a bewildering array of projects, from planting trees in Tanzania to building hydroelectricity plants in Bulgaria.
