Pretty amazing what is going on out there with the booming interest in organic no-till. Lots of activity and new research:



a nice blog post on no-till gardening:  http://www.eartheasy.com/blog/2009/01/no-till-gardening/

One of the big drivers is the belief that cap-and-trade in carbon is just around the corner, and farmers want to be in on that action.  Especially sadly is the big push and lobbying from the glyphosate based (Roundup) conventional no-till ag  making the argument that they deserve the biggest slice.

Ironic that cap-and-trade will be another boom to Monsanto.....or maybe not ironic at all when you consider who is lobbying and behind the whole paradigm of market-based carbon trading?  

It is of course ultimately a big boondoggle, (carbon trading) and a straight up carbon tax would be healthier and more effective for everyone....but we seem stuck in the market-based paradigm, despite all the evidence in front of our lying eyes i guess...
