Student Leaders at Groundbreaking
Saw you guys on “Meet The Farmer”. I am 68 and a 39 year sustainable agriculture researcher, grower and experimenter. Within the last 5 years some earthshaking organic research has been conducted and is ongoing today. This research is rewriting the textbooks and is allowing us to grow superior quality food with much less work and 30% less water use. The research involves analyzing the humus molecule down to the sub-atomic level and is being done at the National Laboratories at Los Alamos and Sandia, both in New Mexico. This research has never been done before. You are cordially invited to check out my website and links and see what you think. Best wishes to all of you and let’s move to the next level of sustainable growing.
