Diary of a Carbon Farmer

This is the diary of an Australian family who escaped from the city, joined a farming community, and learned to love soil. Carbon Farming is about growing soil carbon - the first link in our food chain. The topsoil is where God's creation is taking place, at every moment. Carbon is the building block of life. By growing it we can restore ecosystems to health. At the same time we can remove Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as Carbon in the soil.

"Uamby" helps the Holistic Management movement raise money

More than 30 million acres are being managed holistically worldwide. ANd holistic management is a climate change solution. So support Holistic Management International, says the flyer. This has been distributed throughout parts of the United States.

And Uamby is featured prominantly on the flyer: as "The green land" which is managed holistically.

We have been managing holistically for 10 years, now.

Peter Holter, the PR wizard with HMI, visted with us several months ago... with HMI's Australian anchor Judy Earl.

We were hosted for part of our visit to New Mexico by Peter, when we were in ALberqurque visiting with the Southwestern Partnership (one of President Bush's groups of universities and scientific institutions working on geosequestration and soil carbon sequestration.)

We were flattered to receive Peter's request to use our photograph - taken from a light aircraft 2 weeks after we received 75mls in 35 minutes. It has browned off considerably since then.
