I have a running battle with the BioChar Association.  They said we added it to the soil and got increased yields.  I told them they might have spit on it and gotten increased yields. I told them to compare a biochar plot to an organic, no-till plot and we which yields the best.  They will not do that.  They are on an ego trip.  I asked them what is the difference in burning the crop residue on the filed and hauling the residue to a place and burning it there.  We have worked for decades to teach farmers not to burn their fields and now the experts say burn the crop residue.
