On farming, climate change, and policy

Art Cullen's op-ed in today's Washington Post is headlined, "Climate change is killing the farm belt.  With a little help, farmers can fix it."  Here's an excerpt:  

Rural fortunes can be salvaged, along with the planet, if we pay farmers to sequester carbon by planting grass instead of corn, put their livestock back on pasture and out of unsustainable feedlots, and rotate crops with minimal tillage. Regenerative agriculture, as it is called, using old-fashioned crop-livestock rotations, can eliminate agriculture’s greenhouse-gas footprint and actually start drawing down carbon and planting it in the soil.

Cullen is the Pulitzer Prize winning editor of the Storm Lake Times.
