[QUOTE="Fake it ‘til you make it, post: 7372455, member: 152337"] I just read that pasture only sequesters carbon (approx 0.5 ton/ year) for about 25 years, at which point it becomes carbon neutral, and is just storing approx 50 tons per acre in the top foot of soil. Meanwhile, ploughing can release 3 tons of carbon per acre. This implies that if carbon is monetised, it could become a bigger cost for arable farmers than it would be an income for grassland farmers. It may also explain why the headlines around ELMS are focused on arable conversion to pasture and not existing pasture. [/QUOTE]
