Employees of the Indiana Crop Improvement Association (ICIA) have been conducting field inspections to verify that land enrolled in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) carbon credit trading program meet its requirements. ICIA is providing the services for AOSCA, the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies. These field inspections are to verify that the farmer is successfully capturing carbon from the atmosphere by maintaining a notill field or planting a grassland cover.

“Working with Indiana Crop Improvement Association highlights the increased efficiency our system brings to this project by managing it from a central point of contact from the AOSCA office,” said Chet Boruff, CEO of AOSCA. AOSCA delegates responsibilities regionally across the country to capable people with expertise in field inspection such as Indiana Crop Improvement Association. “We are proud to be a member of AOSCA and to participate in the CCX project,” said Joe Deford, Field Programs Director, Indiana Crop Improvement Association.
