   Is regenerative, sequestrian, no till farming a good idea? Joe Biden's 5T   
   Dollar Climate Bill boasts a lot of ways to clean up and save our climate.   
   One of those ways is through Agricultural Carbon retention.  A method of   
   farming known as No Till Farming.  While no till farming is an incredible   
   process that improves the quality of soil while retaining carbon.  However,   
   like everything else, No Till Farming comes at an incredible price.   
      
   On a smaller scale No Till Farming can be easily managed through cover   
   crops.  However, it takes years of investment, time, and herbicide treatment   
   to build up the cover crops.  On a larger scale as a BIG AG solution, it   
   will be less efficient for farmers to use cover crops and you will see a   
   higher use of herbicides.   
      
   CO2 affects agriculture in many ways.  One of those ways is providing plants   
   with the necessary food to process sugars and grow.  As a result the higher   
   the level of CO2 the more plants grow.  CO2 is natures fertilizer.  CO2   
   doesn't just improve the growth of crops, it improves the growth of weeds.   
   The higher the level of CO2 the less effective herbicides are on weeds.   
   Which means more herbicides will need to be defeat the effects of CO2.   
      
   The increased growth abilities of weeds in a CO2 environment will also   
   enable weeds to thrive more in cover crops, further realizing the need for   
   herbicides in No Till Farming.   
      
   Another method of reducing CO2 mentioned in this video is the introduction   
   of more C4 plants for use in agriculture.  Corn is a C4 plant, Wheat is a C3   
   plant.  95% of the plants on our planet are C3 plants.  C4 plants are able   
   to photosynthesize more efficiently than C3 plants.  As a result they are   
   able to adapt to warmer drier climates.  The theory here is that C4 plants   
   will not only be able to replace food shortages in a warming climate, but   
   possibly reduce the levels of CO2 because they are more efficient in   
   photosynthesis.   
      
   This is an incorrect assumption.  Because of the fact that C3 plants are   
   less efficient in  photosynthesis they require more CO2 because they have to   
   work harder to produce sugars to grow.  As a result, C3 plants are a greater   
   sink for CO2 than C4 plants.
