Ever wonder about the feasibility of carbon sequestration or wind energy contracts? Join us and learn about the elements involved in these contracts and what you need to analyze before entering into one.
 University Extension will host a seminar on environmental market opportunities on Thursday, March 11, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Kirksville TCRC (located at 315 S. Franklin St., two blocks south of the square).  Information on opportunities for landowners and farmers arising from environmental concerns will be followed by information on the contracts that are arising out of these market opportunities.  Specific contracts to be discussed will focus on carbon sequestration and wind energy. 
 A tentative agenda is as follows:
5:30-Introduction to environmental markets – risks arise from lack of experience and long term contracts being offered.
6:15-Supper
7-Discussion of carbon sequestration contracts
7:30-Discussion of wind energy contracts
8-Cooperative economics and ethics – interactive activity to reveal risk and decision making dilemmas
8:30-Adjourn
 For more information and to sign up by March 10, contact Darla Campbell, MU Extension Agricultural Business Specialist at (660) 457-3469 or campbelld@missouri.edu.
