Where do you think most of that carbon ended up? The total amount of carbon depleted from the world's farmland (including land that used to support farming) is more carbon than exists in the atmosphere. The point was that continual loss of carbon from the soil due to the traditional agricultural practices has decreased productivity of the soil while at the same time continually increasing input costs. To put it simply depleting soil carbon is in the long run excessively stupid. > No farmer pays crop dusters unless they have to. > The point was only the stupid have to and there are a lot of farmers waking up to that fact. Depleting carbon from the soil has put farming in a hole and more chemical applications are only digging that hole deeper. http://rodaleinstitute.org/regenerative-organic-agriculture-and-climate-change/ > The US is not North Dakota and the low population is a result of nothing > to do in the state but farm.
