WASHINGTON, D.C. – Farm Credit Council President and CEO Todd Van Hoose made the following statement on the Senate passing the Growing Climate Solutions Act. 

“This bipartisan legislation is an important step toward developing a voluntary, market-based system for carbon markets. It will ensure farmers and ranchers have access to the information and technical assistance needed to fully understand how they can participate,” Van Hoose said. “Farm Credit appreciates the leadership of Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow and Senator Mike Braun.”
