Letter to the Editor submitted to The Courier (Russellville, AR.) and the NW Edition of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette

It does happen, America! There is an agreement in Washington over some things. This time it was for Agriculture, which is and always has been the backbone of our country. While many of us are heralding the ground temperature rising enough to plant those tomato and pepper starts, the seedlings of bipartisanship emerged in our Nation’s Capital. On April 20th, the Growing Climate Solutions Act (S.1251) was reintroduced. S.1251 is a bipartisan bill that will break down barriers for farmers and foresters interested in participating in carbon markets and reward them for climate-smart practices.

Regenerative Agriculture

I Posted on FaceBook, March 16, 2021 There will not be a Coffee and Climate Conversation with Cooper on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. I will be otherwise engaged in learning more about Regenerative Agriculture and such. I'm not a farmer, but I know that Agriculture is the only present greenhouse gas emitter that can turn that part of the equation from negative to positive. And you know what? The biggest thing I've learned so far is that for most of the time that the human race has farmed the ground and raised our own livestock, we have bucked nature and have been therefore ***ing in our own living room. Sorry, the thought came to my head and I can't find a better replacement. Ahh, but there is so much hope in Regenerative Agriculture. It has long been said, by many and far abroad (I was once told this by a young lady from Thailand) that farmers are the backbone of our world. They are not dumb people. They are not just the stereotyped people shown on the boob tube. There is a L...
