Open Grounds Farm
April 8th I went with Dr. Snider's Food and the Environment class to Open Grounds Farm in Beaufort, North Carolina. While there we took a tour of the approximately 60,000 acre farm. It is the largest farm east of the Mississippi River. Our tour guide and Crop Production manager of the farm, Antonio, told us that since this farm is no till they do not release carbon dioxide into the air. Instead their soils retain so much carbon they have to adjust the amount of nitrogen in the soils to keep it viable. I would think this would be considered an abnormal sink sincw the carbon sits there and is stored for so long.
