     Of course. When comparing pasture to cropping systems, as these folks are doing, it is normal for the pasture treatment soils to be better than cropped soils.

   I liked the time lapsed video. However, it didn’t look like there was much of an impact from global warming. Did I miss something?

     Nope. You didn’t miss a thing. We’re not covering climate change here. We’re just talking about carbon.
