Verification summary
Evidence of the project activity (no-till and occasional strip tillage) was confirmed through an interview and time stamped, georeferenced photos of stalks of one crop emerging from the previous year’s plant residue in two fields. The Knuths appeared in the Nebraska Farmer, discussing no-till and other regenerative practices used on the farm. Angela Knuth is also active in the Soil Health Partnership. Land ownership was confirmed using the tax map website for Sanders County, Nebraska (https://saunders.gworks.com/). Signed Assignments of Authority from each of the selected fields were provided to the verifiers. The Knuth Farms Project complies with the verification criteria for projects set out in the Nori Verification Guidelines, without qualifications or limitations. The project has been carried out according to the project description.
