Agricultural land management practices within the United States have a significant potential to contribute to GreenHouse Gas (GHG) mitigation.  Agricultural practices that can mitigate GHG emissions include crop selection, crop rotation, tillage/residue management, nutrient management, manure/biosolid management, and enhanced energy efficiency.  We explore opportunities for GHG mitigation in relation to biophysical potential, economic potential and regional constraints.   Considerations include scientific certainty and implementation issues.
