CI Chit Chat Ep. 63: Regenerative Farming & Carbon Markets with Carter Lantz
In this episode of CI Chit Chat, Continuum Ag CEO Mitchell Hora is joined by Carter Lantz, a fourth-generation farmer from south-central Minnesota. Over the past few years, Carter has been leading his family's transition to regenerative agriculture, adopting strip-till practices, and participating in Continuum Ag’s carbon inset projects—and the results are in.
🌱 From improving soil health to generating new revenue streams, Carter shares how their operation is seeing real benefits by focusing on sustainable practices and leveraging farm data.
🎙 Mitchell and Carter also talk about planting progress, weather challenges, and the critical role of data in the evolving food and fuel supply chain. They dive into:
- The carbon intensity (CI) of grains like corn and soybeans
- Financial incentives for regenerative practices
- The impact of Section 45Z tax credits
- Why farmer-generated data is key to mapping carbon footprints
