Plow to 2” below hard pan 3. Remove stock for 4-6 weeks 4. Just at onset of flowering: Hard graze to 2-4” 1. Plow to 2” below new root depth 2. Remove stock for 4-6 weeks 3. Just at onset of flowering: Hard graze to 2-4” 1. Plow to 2” below new root depth: Max out at 12-15” 2. Remove stock for 4-6 weeks 3. Just at onset of flowering: Hard graze to 2-4” And Another Thing: 1% increase in Organic Matter = 63 ton/ac capture in Atmospheric CO2 ! (That’s twice your total annual emissions)

- 51. Rodale Whitepaper • A 40% reduction of global carbon emissions is possible with a switch to regenerative organic agricultural practices on the world’s 3.5 billion tillable acres. • Agriculture contributes 20% of Carbon emissions in the US, and 12% worldwide
- 52. Rodale Institute Regenerative Organic Farming: A Solution to Global Warming • A 40% reduction of global carbon emissions is possible with a switch to regenerative organic agricultural practices on the world’s 3.5 billion tillable acres. • Agriculture contributes 20% of Carbon emissions in the US, and 12% worldwide • Soil holds twice as much carbon as terrestrial vegetation • Midwestern soils that in the 1950s were composed of up to 20 percent carbon are now between 1- and 2-percent carbon. • Forests and grasslands generally are 6 to 10 percent organic matter, well over the 1- to 3-percent levels typical of today’s agricultural field systems. • Because soil organic matter is primarily carbon, increases in these levels will be directly correlated with carbon sequestration. While prevailing farming practices using synthetic inputs typically deplete SOM, regenerative farming practices, including the integration of crop and animal production, build it.
