Note the non-0 values.

Any questions?
It would appear that is slightly/highly misleading as a link.Agriculture is down as 9% of greenhouse gas emissions in the US but I struggle to believe that that is a net figure after taking into consideration the co2 removed from the atmosphere by the crops photosynthesis removing CO2 from the atmosphere by converting co2 back to O2.

On a world scale ,chopping down rainforest to create temporary grassland for beef production in brazil is extremely shortsighted by removing the co2 consumers (plants) to replace them with co2 generators ( animals) before the grasssland becomes semi desert due to lack of shade/soil fertility. WOrldwide developed countries should be paying the rainforest regions to retain them rather than chopping them down to exploit short term mineral/tree wealth and very short term animal production.
