AgriCapture Farm Management

AgriCapture pays farmers and landowners for verified emissions reductions and crop premiums across three lanes: sustainable rice (where flooding-management changes cut methane), other row crops, and grasslands or ranchlands. The company generated the first&#x2004;large-scale carbon credits for rice methane reduction in US history — 37,000 tons of CO2e — and also markets Climate-Friendly certified rice to mills and food companies at a premium.


AgriCapture handles the business side end to end: registration, monitoring via satellite imagery and ground-truth data, verification, and credit sales, so the farmer's role is the practices themselves. Revenue can come as carbon credit income, crop premiums for certified sustainable grain, or both.


It starts with a personalized land management plan built around the operation.

- Rice growers changing water and residue management (the methane-reduction lane), row-crop farmers adopting regenerative practices, and grassland or ranchland owners increasing soil organic carbon.
- AgriCapture asks prospective enrollees for crop type, acreage, location, and management practices to evaluate eligibility; no published minimums or state list.

A contract to sell an environmental outcome the operation produces - sequestered carbon, a water-quality credit, a habitat credit - to a buyer, rather than receiving an award. Payment is typically per unit (per acre or per ton CO2e) over a multi-year term and contingent on verification, so records using this instrument carry the payment.* and contract.* fields rather than award.min/award.max. Covers both credit-generating programs, where credits are sold to outside buyers, and supply-chain insetting programs, where a company the operation already sells to pays for the practice.

Carbon Capture

No payment rates, contract lengths, or minimums are published. Revenue comes from third-party-verified carbon credits (AgriCapture manages registration, verification, and sale) and from crop premiums, where AgriCapture verifies climate benefits, maintains traceability with mills, and markets the grain. The rice methane lane produced the first large-scale US rice methane reduction credits; AgriCapture also runs Scope 3 insetting for supply-chain buyers, and participates in USDA's Advancing Markets for Producers work.

Enrollment is by inquiry, not a public application round. Submit AgriCapture's farmer/landowner enrollment intake form at https://agricapture.com/farmers/ - "Interested in enrolling in AgriCapture's programs? Please provide more information about your operation so our Farm Management team can reach out to you" (crop type, acreage, location, and management practices, so the farm management team can evaluate eligibility). The grassland program page carries its own contact form with a "Carbon Credits" interest option.

AgriCapture then follows a three-step process:

1. Land Evaluation - AgriCapture gathers data and uses satellite imagery to assess property eligibility and quantify carbon credit potential.
2. Project Development - AgriCapture develops a detailed Monitoring Plan and lists the project with a carbon registry.
3. Carbon Credit Verification & Sales - "A third-party auditor verifies the integrity of the carbon credits. Once credits are verified, AgriCapture identifies a buyer and manages the transaction."

AgriCapture develops **Avoided Grassland Conversion** carbon credits for landowners and ranchers who keep native grasslands out of crop production, and pays them by selling the resulting third-party-verified credits.


"Credits are issued for protecting native grasslands from conversion to cropland, representing&#x2004;a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. We leverage our best-in-class technology and soil expertise to improve landowner conservation and protect fragile ecosystems."


"AgriCapture will generate and sell third-party verified carbon credits, providing landowners with a financial incentive for their conservation efforts." Project outcomes cited: fragile ecosystem protection, natural resources conservation, and carbon sequestration.


AgriCapture's first grassland projects were developed in partnership with the Texas Agricultural Land Trust (TALT), generating credits for three Texas Panhandle ranches covering over 6,300 acres of native grasslands.

Open to landowners and ranchers with native grasslands at risk of conversion to cropland. AgriCapture states it works with "a variety of landowners and farmers," and describes the grasslands and ranchlands track as "quantifying, conserving, and increasing soil organic carbon" to create "new revenue streams for landowners' sustainable land management."

Property eligibility is determined case by case: "AgriCapture gathers data and uses satellite imagery to assess property eligibility and quantify carbon credit potential." No minimum acreage, tenure requirement, or geographic restriction is published.

Landowner revenue comes from the sale of verified carbon credits rather than a published payment rate; AgriCapture "simplifies the carbon project process by managing registration, verification, and the sale of the credits, allowing farmers to focus on their operation."

AgriCapture's credits are issued by the Climate Action Reserve, and the company reports being "the first company in Texas history to receive carbon credits for avoided grassland conversion." Its MRV work has covered over 150,000 acres of U.S. farmers, ranchers, and landowners.

No per-acre or per-tonne payment rate, revenue-share split, contract term, or enrollment deadline is published on the program page.

**Notice**: _On April 14, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the cancellation of the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities (PCSC). The USDA plans to reform the program into the Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) initiative. Contact your local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) for more information on how to apply to the AMP initiative. _


This project will benefit climate-smart farmers in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, and California while expanding climate-smart rice markets and&#x2004;guaranteeing a supply of climate-smart rice to customers. All farms will be certified under the ACFRS.


This project plans direct incentive payment to producers for climate-smart practice implementation and identity preserved storage and potential crop premiums for producers who develop their own processing capabilities and markets. Planned practices include: alternate wetting and drying, furrow irrigated rice, reduced burning of rice stubble, early incorporation of rice stubble into the soil, and various techniques for improving nitrogen fertilizer efficiency.

No eligibility criteria are published. AgriCapture's Advancing Markets for Producers page describes the practices and the supply chain but never states who may enroll; fit is assessed case by case from an inquiry. Its farmer page asks you to "provide information about your operation, including crop type, acreage, location, and management practices, so our farm management team can evaluate eligibility."

What the published scope does tell you:

- Commodity: rice. AgriCapture "partners with American rice farmers and mills to build the market for sustainably grown rice," and the 2024 program covered "33 Farms" and "42,000 Acres of U.S. Grown Rice" "Across the Mississippi Delta."
- Where: this record covers Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas and California. No county or watershed list is published.
- What you would have to do: adopt water-saving irrigation — "Farms use Furrow Irrigated Rice or Alternate Wetting and Drying" — and efficient fertilizer application; accept verification ("field-level data, remote sensing, satellite imagery, & soil sampling"); and keep the crop identity preserved "during harvest, storage, milling, and packaging." The record's project summary adds ACFRS certification.
- AgriCapture also works with "a variety of landowners and farmers" beyond rice — other row crops, grasslands and ranchlands — but those are its own programs, not this USDA-funded project.

Status, which matters before you invest time: USDA cancelled the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program on April 14, 2025. The project continues under USDA Advancing Markets for Producers (agreement NR233A750004G004), but this record is closed and the page is oriented to rice buyers and mills rather than to new grower sign-ups.

Your next step is therefore a conversation, not an application: use the contact form on the page or call AgriCapture's office, (615) 625-5195, and ask whether they are still enrolling growers in your state.

Grant

No per-farm payment rate, award ceiling, or cost-share percentage is published.

AgriCapture's AMP page reports program-level results only — a "2024 Program Overview" of "33 Farms" across the Mississippi Delta, "42,000 Acres" of U.S.-grown rice, and "$2.4 Million" in "Direct Farmer Incentives." That is an aggregate, not a rate; dividing it out would produce a number AgriCapture has not published, so do not plan against it.

The payment design is described without figures: direct incentive payments to producers for climate-smart practice implementation and identity-preserved storage, plus potential crop premiums for producers who develop their own processing capabilities and markets. Qualifying practices include alternate wetting and drying, furrow-irrigated rice, reduced burning and early incorporation of rice stubble, and improved nitrogen fertilizer efficiency. Participation also brings non-cash obligations: field-level data, remote sensing, satellite imagery and soil sampling for verification, ACFRS certification, and identity preservation through harvest, storage, milling and packaging.
