Soils were collected from an organic farm in Penn Yan, New York. These soils are characterized as Honoeye/Lima, a silty clay loam on calcareous bedrock. \textbf{this is a comment}  To get a field average, 10cm cores were collected (in duplicate) from six different sampling locations around the field using a slide hammer bulk density sampler (coordinates: (1) N 42° 40.288’ W 77° 02.438’, (2) N 42° 40.296’ W 77° 02.438’, (3) N 42° 40.309’ W 77° 02.445’, (4) N 42° 40.333’ W 77° 02.425’, (5) N 42° 40.340’ W 77° 02.420’, (6) N 42° 40.353’ W 77° 02.417’) on November 21, 2011. Cores were all sieved through a 2mm sieve, homogenized by mixing, and stored at 4°C until use (within 1-2 week of collection). Carbon and nitrogen content , as well as, water holding capacity were previously measured for these soils as blah blah blah. 50\% water holding capacity measured.
