Agriculture committee  It would basically be looking at farm scale across a broad spectrum. Richard Teague out of Texas A&M has done a huge amount of study on soil carbon sequestration rates. There's always a disconnect between what has come up in research plots and what's actually happening on the

Agriculture committee  I think a baselining project is absolutely critical.

Kimberly Cornish

Agriculture committee  I think if we can do a broad-spectrum baselining project, we will learn so much. We'll have not just that baseline and be able to see where we are in the future, but we'll also have a compare and contrast. If you have really beautifully adaptive multi-paddock grazed land next to

Agriculture committee  Yes, thank you. When you're actually building soil carbon, there's a huge distinction in my mind between soil carbon sequestration and the elimination of emissions from the soil by tilling. If we're not tilling the land, it definitely helps, but if we can be building those biolo

Agriculture committee  I think right now we have so many issues between economic development and climate-smart practices. It seems to be an either-or scenario. I think, if we can really understand the capabilities and the how of soil carbon sequestration, we can open up more possibilities for the susta

Kimberly Cornish

Agriculture committee  What we've been looking at is actually developing a baseline of what the soil carbon is at this time, and then being able to track it in the future. Definitely emissions are an issue that we need to talk about in terms of passes of the land, but what we're finding is that a lot o
