I do know that Klaas Martens, an organic field crop grower in Penn Yan, NY is
a proponent of William Albrecht's philosophies. He frequently speaks of him
at our monthly winter NY Certified Organic meetings. Neal Kinsey, soil
consultant, practices Albrecht's principles. You can read more about him at

I have checked soilmineral.com and I have read the Albrecht paper. I
think it really make sense. However, there does not seems to be much
endorsement for Albrecht's work to be found anywhere.

Other than soilmineral.com (which is really just full of anecdotes and
cite very few references), can anybody point me to credible documents
that expand on Albrecht mineral balance theory? Critic of Albrecht's
work would also be welcome.
