A bipartisan group of senators reintroduced the Growing Climate Solutions Act Tuesday, a bill that would establish a federal program to help agriculture producers access carbon credit markets. Senate Ag Chair Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., joined Sens. Mike Braun, R-Ind., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., spearheading the legislation.
The American Farm Bureau Federation is one of more than 60 agricultural and environment organizations to back the measure. Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall called the bill an "improved" version of the one introduced in the last Congress.
