[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 612519, member: 7645"] I am going off memory here so I could be wrong; but there was never really a trust element to the old quotas (do we still have quotas??). Every farmer under the program had a quota they were allowed to grow under the program. When they got old, wanted to concentrate on their cows or their deer hunting, or wanted to grow something else they rented out their quota to their neighbor who wanted to grow more than he was quotad for. I THINK (dangerous word) the quotas were LEGALLY transferable and tradable. Maybe your carbon credits will also be LEGALLY tranferable and tradable. We could get to the point where your local power plant may be buying people's cattle growing rights to decrease their own carbon taxes (God help us all). [/QUOTE]
