G'day,

Keyline as a *system* has been remarkably under-researched, though more
importantly primary producers appreciate its benefits as more often than not
they will listen to another producer than an extensionalist, though of
course I am generalising.

Best advice I can give you is to look at the following sites:

http://www.marincarbonproject.org/
http://soilcarboncoalition.org/
http://managingwholes.com/
http://www.keylinevermont.com/Welcome.html

Have fun.

All the best,

Darren
