More on Ohio farmer David Brandt, who was mentioned in the previous post: A September 2013 Mother Jones story, “One Weird Trick to Fix Farms Forever,” calls him (citing a U.S. Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service website), “The Obi-Wan Kenobi of soil.” The story also says, “If all U.S. farms adopted Brandt’s methods, we could save as much carbon as if we took 10 percent of cars off the road.” (Photo: NRCS.)
