A group of students and recent graduates from the University of Western Ontario is recruiting grain farmers for its study of farming practices that capture more carbon than emissions.
Their findings could lead to government support for management practices than enhance carbon capture which would reduce global warming.
Those who sign on would allow the students to work on a small plot about 10 by 10 metres.
Farmers would gain free soil testing and information about soil health.
The ideal recruits will be farming sandy soils and will still be deciding whether they ought to adopt “regenerative” cropping practices.
