The article on what agriculture could do to reduce carbon emissions was much too general to be helpful to people in agriculture. Is there a place to find detail that a farmer or rancher could use?
CommentsI entered a contest and made it to the finals, Now if I win then $15,000 will go to the Heifer project (google it). Please take a moment to vote.. thanks! http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?picid=901345_15176155&pid=2145440&scid=456 |
Some resources for you;

Soil organic matter is the key to soil fertility, true economic prosperity, climatic stability, clean and abundant water and vibrant human health. Once created, and under continuing good management, a significant portion of soil organic matter stays in soils for up to a thousand years.
If the American people were to restore the soil fertility of the Great Plains that we have destroyed in the last 150 years, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide would be reduced to near pre-industrial levels.
