Also - that part about biomass and ethanol. We started here as Soilmakers,
stressing the need to return all available organic matter to replenish
soil. And yes it would be disaster if all chemical agribusiness stopped on
a dime. However, isn't what we have now a disaster? With mineral-depleted
soil and overprocessed, nutrient-depleted food, and of course growing
epidemics of degenerative diseases and an alleged health care system
totally out of control and almost useless in many cases. The farther we get
from the land the worse off we are, spiritually and physically. It's been
said that the human race exists because of a six-inch layer of topsoil and
the fact that it rains. We're losing it. We forget our origins - and the
home planet that sustains us.
