Extreme precipitation events - increased frequency

Agriculture and Climate Change

Extreme precipitation events, in other words heavy downpours, have already increased in frequency in the central and eastern U.S. causing flooding, soil erosion, and nutrient leaching. Again, soil health practices can help farmers be more resilient.

This demonstration shows the importance of keeping the soil covered with vegetation. Some of these little plots have vegetation cover and some don’t. Water has been sprayed on these plots and the front jugs catch the water that’s run off the surface of the plot and the back jugs catch water that has drained through the soil.

Look at the two outside plots and you’ll see that with bare ground on the far right, lots of water has run off carrying soil with it - that’s why it’s so brown - that’s erosion. The back jug is empty so water has not drained through it. The plot on the far left has lots of vegetation and you can see there’s no run-off and that a small amount has drained through. The soil is able to absorb more water when there’s vegetation.

“The issue of climate change is highly polarized among rural voters and there is less support for government action than among urban/suburban voters…. We found that even perceptions of extreme weather are polarized along a partisan divide and across the urban/rural divide.”

“Rural reluctance to accept the science around climate change may be based on concerns about regulations.”

Energy Innovation Act

Net Negative Emissions

Hi, I’m Julie of the Agriculture Interview Team. We are partly in CCL and partly in the Business Climate Leaders, which is a CCL-related but technically separate group that does grasstops outreach to business.

Let’s be crystal clear about the connection that healthy soils have to our common goal of climate mitigation. Going Net Zero isn’t Enough.

There’s a reason that CCL is going out of its wheelhouse to support the GCSA when we make such a point of retaining focus on our favored Energy Innovation Act.

Synergy.

Going Net Zero with our carbon emissions will not completely stabilize the climate. As we increasingly see, our weather is already dramatically destabilized by just the 1 deg Celsius (or 1.8°F) where we are. To get back to normality, we need to go from the current 415ppm atmospheric CO2 back much closer to the 280ppm that we were at when Queen Victoria's reign began.

Pretty daunting, right? But not impossible. We just need two key things.

Stop putting greenhouse gases up into the atmosphere, which is what Energy Innovation Act helps achieve. And
Draw carbon back down from the air and plant it, literally and figuratively, in the soil. That is what the Growing Climate Solutions Act contributes to. Transforming our agricultural practices is currently the most effective, economic and ecofriendly way known to remove carbon. And it's eminently scalable.

====================FOR REFERENCE ONLY:

Listen First Strategy

For that, we need farmers. But why would these generally conservative, eco-group wary people want to even talk with us? They are often afraid of command and control regulation-based governance. And with some justification, let’s be honest.

So we need to become the exception and establish trust. Our strategy is simple.

Listen First.

Become an Honest Broker between Ag and Congress.

So we are conducting a survey using open-ended questions about soil health practices to reach to the ag community and begin forming relationships with the real people in it. We are using the Growing Climate Solutions Act, which is CCL’s current secondary ask at lobby meetings with members of Congress who care about agriculture.

So, just for 3 minutes, I’d like you to pretend you’re a farmer or rancher, just for a moment…here’s our pitch.

Growing Climate Solutions Act

The Growing Climate Solutions Act is free market, not a government subsidy.

Carbon is already a low value cash crop, and we can literally talk about carbon farming. The current market rate is $15-25 per ton sequestered, paid by organizations and individuals that want to offset their own carbon footprints. About that much per acre, give or take. Not very profitable… but enough to matter to larger operations.

Current private carbon markets like IndigoAg, Truterra, and Nori are unregulated. And with the demand side clearly established, there are many new players jockeying for position.

What the GCSA bill aims to do is to “remove roadblocks” to their adoption. First it's not straightforward for producers, who might not know about the markets, and what is involved to use them. Technical details of practice implementation and carbon drawdown verification may be needed.

If they do know about them, farmers often aren't sure which companies to trust. Trust is big.

You've heard about websites that claim you can offset your personal carbon footprint, right? Do you have any idea how to tell who is on the up and up? I don't.

1.6% SOC

After no tilling for long time

Perhaps you are wondering… Carbon markets work like this.�A farmer or rancher commits formally to new soil health practices and implements them. An estimate is done of how much difference they will make.

After a period of time, the farmer has to verify the actual carbon amount sequestered.

The farmer receives carbon credits from the market. These can be cashed in immediately or held for better market conditions. It's up to the farmer.

The timing of initial payments can be right away or years after the practices are begun, depending on the market.

Take this example of conventional vs no-till. You see the difference in soil texture immediately. The 1.6% soil organic carbon soil from conventionally tilled soil looks like concrete. The next door neighbor’s untilled soil has 4.3% SOC and an ideal dark cottage cheese structure. These two are the identical soil type, yet it is black and....tan.

30 of 55

How to Incentivize these Practices?

Keep soil covered

Minimize soil disturbance

(low/no-till)

Plant diversity

Continual live plants and roots

Livestock integration

Off the National Resources Conservation Service website, we see the most important soil health practices. Modelling programs like the COMET-Farm can predict their likely impacts in a given region.

1.Keep the soil covered (which insulates it from excess heat and cold and decreases wind and water erosion)

2.Minimize soil disturbance (which prevents the disruption of the soil microbial ecosystem)

3.Increase plant diversity (numerous years of no tillage and crop diversity results in a healthy, well aggregated soil.)

4.Have continual live plants and roots (in other words, cover crops to feed and protect the soil biology)

5.Livestock integration

1.It's been shown that what comes out the back end is very efficient at feeding the microbial ecosystem.

— to these 5, many soil health experts would add minimization or elimination of all chemical inputs, from fertilizers to insecticides to herbicides.

==============FOR REFERENCE ONLY:

Our Interview Team has been in motion since early January, with wonderful volunteers from 10 states in almost every region , and the more the merrier! We have an intern who has begun to crunch our early data and we intend to be able to deliver a valuable report for use by the CCL June lobby teams. It will help catalyze a deeper understanding between farmers and their members of congress, aiding both parties.

We have formed relationships with lots of farmers, and have generated some endorsements for the GCSA and even for the Energy Innovation Act...which we are not even formally going after. We are sowing the seeds of change. Thank you.

Role of GCSA and EICDA

EICDA exempts on-farm fuel use

Dyed diesel, as part of existing program - carbon fee isn’t included in its price
Gasoline, natural gas, propane - can get rebates

Why?

Many farmers are “price takers not price makers”

No fee on on-farm emissions

EICDA only places a fee on fossil fuels

Agriculture Action TeamWhWhat

Agriculture exemption

Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act

So now let’s look more closely at the EICDA and agriculture. It has an exemption for on-farm fossil-fuel use. There’s already a program for farmers to buy diesel without taxes included. This would become part of that program such that with the carbon fee wouldn’t be included either. For other fossil fuels used on the farm, farmers apply for rebates for the amount of the carbon price for those fuels. The reason for this exemption is because many farmers can’t determine the price of their goods - they’re “price takers not price makers”.

It’s important to also stress that the EICDA places a fee on fossil fuels and not on emissions coming from the farm - this is not a “cow tax”. That misunderstanding of the cap-and-trade bill in 2009 helped to sink it and we don’t want that to happen with the EICDA.

Farmers can change their practices to decrease fertilizer use

move to precision nitrogen management
practices that increase soil health

these will generally decrease the amount of fertilizer used / yield

Fertilizer manufacturing

Captures and uses or stores carbon dioxide (CCUS)

already used by some
EICDA has rebate

Agriculture Action TeamWhWhat

But two types of changes could occur over time to reduce the impact

Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act

But the study didn’t model any changes that would be expected to occur over time. Farmers can change their practices to use less fertilizer. There are now ways they can determine more precisely how much fertilizer to use and when and where to place it so the crop gets just what it needs when it needs it. And we already talked about the decrease in the amount of fertilizer per yield farmers can get using soil health practices such as conservation tillage with cover crops.

There are also changes happening in fertilizer manufacturing. One thing that’s actually happening on a commercial scale now is the capture of carbon dioxide emissions from fertilizer plants (four that I know of in the U.S.). And the EICDA has a rebate already for those manufacturers who use CCUS - carbon capture use and storage.

38 of 55

Such market-based solutions as a carbon price should:

- not tax any greenhouse gas emissions from the farm

- cause only slow increases in the price of gasoline, electricity, natural gas, and home heating oil, such as about ten cents per gallon of gasoline each year

- ensure that costs and benefits fall equally on urban and rural people

- protect the poor and middle-class, the elderly, and those on a fixed income

- create jobs and keep jobs in our communities

Agriculture Action TeamWhWhat

Wording about the EICDA that may be acceptable to farmers

Once you have a good relationship

We support market-based solutions, rather than federal or state emission limits, being used to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from any sources.

So given how it’s hard to talk with some farmers about climate change and that the EICDA isn’t an easy sell, I’d like to give you some wording that has worked for me to at least keep the conversation going.

The wording on the screen now is part of the American Farm Bureau’s policy on climate change: “We support market-based solutions, rather than federal or state emission limits, being used to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from any sources.”

Two years ago I had asked my county Farm Bureau to support the EICDA. That did not go well, but I learned about some of their concerns, such as increases in gas prices that would cause haulers to raise their rates. And a fear that it would be better for urban people and that rural folks would, basically, get the shaft.

But the next year, when I talked about a carbon price in these terms, causing only slow increases in the price of gasoline and ensuring that costs and benefits fall equally on urban and rural people, they were okay with it. So this type of wording could be useful.
