Some of the common questions we will be addressing:

1. "What is 'additionality', and when am I expected to introduce it in my carbon project?"

2. "Is there a difference between 'baselining' and 'soil testing', and can I baseline without committing to a carbon project?"

3. "Are there different types of carbon credits, and do they impact my bottom line differently?"

4. "Can I combine a series of small farms together to do a soil carbon project since they are too small to qualify for a project individually?"

5. "Am I limited in my options to run a soil carbon project if I have a fair amount of timbered country?"

6. "Is there a limit to the amount of soil carbon that I can sequester?"

7. "I want to maintain carbon neutrality and sell carbon-neutral beef/wool, so don't I need to hold on to my carbon and not sell it?"

8. "What happens to my farm if we go into drought or experience extreme weather events that impact the soil carbon that we've sequestered?"

9. "Can I sell my farm if I am in a carbon project, and what happens to it?"

10. "How does the commission structure work, and what does the project developer do to earn the commission from my carbon project?"
