The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
1% organic model will hold an inch of rain so this land can absorb a 5 inch rain event this land can only absorb a half an inch
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

for every one percent of organic matter in the soil it can hold one inch of rain in a catastrophic rain event meaning that the flooding and the erosion will be much lower
this has got five times as much organic model five percent versus less than one percent one percent organic matter in soil absorb like a sponge a one inch ring event a one inch rain event or lake of land is 27 000 gallons of water and it's not unusual in the coastal point of Georgia we were about 80 miles from the Gulf of Mexico to get a five inch rain event and when we get a five inch rain event uh if it if it goes over 48 hours we can absorb it here all but one half of inch half an inch of real soil here and the rest of it rushes down to the Gulf of Mexico you know we see that the the rain the water wants to go to Apalachicola Apalachicola Gulf in the Mexican and that's that's where it's headed unless we do the right things to hold it here so it can do the ecosystem benefit amazing and and I mean we were gonna we were just talking before the podcast started about this video that you guys have on your white oak pastures Instagram and I think what we'll do is we'll insert that video now so that everybody can see this for those of you who are going to watch this video this is a this is a creek or a a river right outside your farm well what are we seeing in this video so in the video it's it's actually uh uh or a surface water ditch that goes through the farm it doesn't run all the time it ruins from its excess water this one was uh Springs a year ago uh but we got about a six inch ring event very quickly which as I said is not super unusual and it uh water ran off of my farm but it was a fraction of the water that ran off the neighboring Farm the Civil soil cycle came from and the quality of the war the the water off my farm like weak tea in the water coming off that farm but like a strawberry milkshake so this is both the quantity and the quality of the water now again it goes to the apalachicle by the Gulf of Mexico that used to be one of the best oystering rounds on the East Coast everybody here it was an absolute moratorium against orstring there now because of what the water quality is done to the to the sea lion
