People might like to know that one of my Marin County (CA) clients has
sponsored Dr David Pimental of Cornell University (through CFA) to conduct a
wide ranging monitoring study on a range of different methods applied by CFA
farmers (across the US) that they use to increase Soil Organic Carbon (such
as Managment Intensive Grazing or MIG, Keyline Plowing, Soil Amendments,
Compost/Compost Teas, and just about everything else that we think, but have
not necessarily quantifiably, increases SOC.
Your clients need to be informed that David Pimental was exposed by
the investigative journalist Jack Anderson as being a fraud who was
actually drawing a regular salary from Mobile Oil when he did his phoney
studies on ethanol production. Pimental even admitted it during a radio
interview. David Blume, in his great book, "Alcohol Can Be A Gas", which
is about the permaculture way to energy independence, spends some time
exposing the fraud in Pimental's "study". It's also quite telling that
Pimental publishes a lot of his work in a "peer-reviewed" journal that
is the mouthpiece of the mining and coal industry, and, indeed, Pimental
says himself that coal is the real answer to all our energy needs.
