To an extent, that actually works to sequester carbon, but it's not clear that it's the most cost-effective way to do it. Nor would people be OK with the perceived waste.

Just use the stover. And slaughterhouse cities like Omaha and Kansas City and Chicago also import their fuel and receive timber.

Let's take Omaha. Omaha Steaks could sell carbon-negative beef if the USDA inspectors can certify that 2x the carbon went into biomass energy plants. It would create demand for 3x, 4x, and 10x beef.

I'm curious, what would be the most effective way to sequester carbon?

Possibly shellfish, given past limestone deposites (calcium carbonate).
