White Oak farm transitioned from 0.5% to 5% soil carbon in 22 years, enabling it to withstand a 5-inch rain event without topsoil loss.

“at white oak which took their farm from point five percent carbon to five percent carbon in five in 22 years they can now have a five inch rain event and not lose the soil not lose the topsoil because it won't run off when we were at the bison harvest at rome ranch taylor had this little awesome diorama set up where he had these multiple sections of soil set up with different amounts of carbon he'd actually transplanted them from different parts of the farm i believe and he watered all of them equally and you could absolutely see that the soil that was more degraded from the more degraded parts of the farm versus the soil from the parts of the farm that had been more uh highly rehabilitated which is what they're doing at rome ranch the more highly rehabilitated soil with more carbon sequestered more water it just stayed in there it didn't run off and you could see it in the bottom there was a runoff space and you could see this this low carbon monocrop degraded soil”
