I went on their website and read some.  The farmer must pay them upfront! Excuse me!  Snake oil salesmen in the 21st Century?  Just my opinion.

Greetings,
I don't remember seeing anything about this here, if its been covered,
apologies....

Check out http://www.carbonfarmersofamerica.com/

Two claims made here:
1. That there are records of creating 3-6 inches of topsoil in a year -
using Yeomans sub-plowers and Savory style intensive grazing.
2. That a huge proportion of the excess of carbon in the atmosphere is soil
and that by simply adding "1.6% organic matter to the world's ag. soils, we
could reduce C02 to pre-industrial levels"

Here's a clip from an upcoming TV show about this:

Since I can't check this out myself, I hope you all will and make your
comments....is all this for real, what do you think? (And if anyone would be
so kind as to post some "how to" type info here, much appreciated.)
