00:00Our land here has gone from 1.5% organic matter when I farmed very industrially using a lot
00:09of chemical fertilizer, a lot of tillage, to today this land is over 5% organic matter.
00:16That's a 10x increase in carbon.
00:19Carbon in the soil in the form of organic matter is what holds the moisture from rain,
00:26it's what creates the environment for microbial life.
00:30Your land has 1% organic matter, it'll absorb a one inch rainfall.
00:36A one inch rainfall on an acre of land is 27,000 gallons of water.
00:42Our land is 5% organic matter, so it'll absorb a five inch rainfall, and we get five inch
00:48rainfalls in the coastal plains of Georgia.
00:51So if you get five inches, that's over 100,000 gallons of water.
00:57If the land is only 1.5% organic matter, it'll only absorb a half an inch of rain, the rest
01:01of it washes down from Spring Creek, the Chattahoochee River, to the Gulf of Mexico, and as it's
01:07doing that, it erodes away a lot of topsoil, and it's just devastating for the land.
