As far as growing crops, that doesn't remove carbon. Crops are harvested.
Plants use photosynthesis that removes CO2.
Oh, he won't. Not for long at least. Harris, on the other hand, would be even worse.FriscoKid said:

I'm just imagining someone in Biden's campaign office going, "we have to lean into the dementia thing and just have him say nonsense. That's the only way - we have to confuse the voters!" Along with a bunch of yes men agreeing that that idea is genius.

If I'm being generous I could assume he is vaguely talking about CRP ground, but he then elaborates and it goes off the rails.
We are one EPA regulation away from government bureaucrats dictating fertility programs and production schedules.
That was a clear tell that Biden had been told that the audience were all friendly and for him.16Ag18 said:
No one going to talk about how awkward it was at the beginning when he asked "how do you feel now?" And she just kept talking? Lol
It depends.Cassius said:

well under Joe's plan you'll be forced to stop growing crops and your land will be put into a bank, then the govt will give you a little somein' somein' each month to live off of.CanyonAg77 said:It depends.Cassius said:

If 100% of the crop is harvested and consumed, the carbon goes back into the cycle. But certain farming methods, such as one I use, no-till, leaves the stalks and leaves on the ground, and plant the new crop into the stubble. It ties up the carbon for much longer, and improves the organic matter (carbon) in the soil profile.
Of course, that stubble eventually breaks down releasing the carbon, But it odes it over 2-3 years, as opposed to clean tillage, where you plow under the stubble and it breaks down in a few weeks or months, returning the carbon quickly.

Which brings up a salient and relevant point: WHAT evidence is there that Biden would do anything different from the Obama administration days??? (and we know what thought of that and what it did) In fact, isn't it far, far more likely he would just simply resume where Obama left off and where Hillary's defeat put things on hold? Even the wrecking middle class suburbs scheme was an Obamian and Jarrett one -- -not new to the Dems under Trump.twk said:Exactly. He's not planning to decrease the regulatory burden--he's going to increase it exponentially. That was the hallmark of the Obama administration.richardag said:
So he not only didn't answer the question, he elaborated that the government will add more programs that will pay farmers to grow crops that the government wants farmers to grow. Bigger government is the Democrats solution to everything (re: short answer: Democrats want MORE POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER EVERYONE)

Redwood is one of the trees with the highest carbon dioxide absorption capacity and it is capable of decreasing air pollution.
Studies show that a Redwood plantation can absorb carbon dioxide from 2,700 vehicles in a year.
As I alluded to in another post, it's a pipeline effect. Some crops and some farming methods tie up carbon better and longer than others. A tree will tie up carbon longer than grass. Reduced or no-till will tie up carbon longer than conventional (clean field) tillage.Cassius said:Then they are harvested. CO2 is released back into the atmosphere in some other way.aggiehawg said:What?Cassius said:

You dont understand what he's saying?
He's saying, we'll have land banks, that will pay you. And because of these land banks, the crops will absorb carbon, which is part of the deal, and you get paid. So that's how he'll help reduce regulations for farmers.
Understand now?
Damn, glad you explained it so much better!
Its like his Ag Policy advisor worked in the Ukraine in the 1930s.

If I plant wheat, harvest the grain, and burn the stubble, all the carbon in the stubble goes into the atmosphere. If I no-till, some goes into the soil, some into the air, but it takes 2 years, not 2 hours.
And a lot of the carbon goes into the part that's harvested. So the carbon in the wheat seed, goes into a person or animal, and a lot of the carbon is expelled into belches and farts, but a lot goes into the body and stays there. Again, it absorbs over a growing season, returns to the atmosphere over a longer time period.
Many do not. They wouldn't be so high on pushing any form of collectivism and anti-West if so.Troutslime said:
