Researchers arming farms to halt increases in greenhouse gases

Sylvie Brouder, associate professor of agronomy and director of the outreach effort for the Eastern Corn Belt said the goal is to let farmers and others know their management options.

"We want all audiences to gain a better understanding of the potential for agricultural soils to serve as a sink for atmospheric carbon, which will lead to a reduction of greenhouse gases," she said. "Our objective is both to lay the groundwork for the development of sound public policy and to educate the farmers so that they can make informed decisions about changes in their farm management."

Brouder said the Purdue CASMGS group will be developing publications and training modules to complement the outreach effort.

In addition to Purdue, universities participating in the consortium are Colorado State University, Iowa State University, Kansas State University, Michigan State University, Montana State University, the Ohio State University, Texas A&M University and the University of Nebraska.

Also participating are the U.S. Department of Energy's Battelle-Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists from the Agricultural Research Service, the Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Economic Research Service.
