Our Purpose in Motion
At Veteran's Carbon Holdings/Next Level Carbon, we've been serving the agricultural industry for more than 20 years. What began as a small family-owned business has grown into a trusted company supporting farming communities across the region. In 2024, we launched our soil carbon program, partnering with farmers throughout North Dakota and Minnesota to promote sustainable agriculture.
Veteran's Carbon Holdings is a for-profit carbon development company headquartered in the Red River Valley, dedicated to advancing science-based soil carbon solutions.
