We talk about: - the carbon project of SLM - how they handled the six driest years on record - what they did during those years - how to match stocking rates to carrying capacity - what you do when the rain finally comes - how SLM was going broke slower than anybody else It takes time! Tony: Investors in regen ag need to have an overall picture that's at least a 15 year investment horizon. So when they start there in 15 years and they probably need to look at it in year 5, in year 10 and not worry about in the middle. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to discover more visit www.investinginregenerativeagriculture.com
