POET is focused on creating value for agriculture, which includes working with our farmers to provide information and access to the growing opportunities for low-carbon grain. The first step for producers is to understand the farming practices that may impact your carbon intensity score so you are positioned to take advantage of 45Z tax credit opportunities.
