Al Gore’s farm in Tennessee a few years ago. He was such a great guy in person, and this video really captures what so many of us have dedicated our lives to. Building the soil that allows for healthy plants and animals.

Thanks for sharing this with us! I needed a bit of inspiration.

By the way, on the farm that I tend the Soil Organic Matter has gone from 1.5% to 3.75% in 24 years. But I have mainly row crop land. The pastures with livestock on them ( provided that they are being managed without the chemical fertilizers that destroy the microbiome) really can sequester more carbon rapidly.

But still, I am proud that I have gotten that much carbon out of the atmosphere.
