What an interesting and articulate person. It’s refreshing to hear someone speak on the history of keyline / permaculture / organic farming without proselytizing about their pet approach.
What Yeomans didn’t have was the Scientific knowledge of trace elements or of micro organisms of soil, but working with what he did know and what he observed, he was and is brilliant.
The more I learn about keylines I feel like keylines in fields very similar to broadforking for residential back yard or for small market farms. Is this correct?
Fukuoka said so much that Western people can’t read. I’m waiting for the English translations of Syntropic Agroforestry. If you follow the evolutions of Keyline, Permaculture, Holistic aka Alan Savory, then look at the Syntropic theories, it’s evolving into very different approaches depending on, to use the Holistic term, the “brittleness” of the location, you have a blueprint.
"There's a lot more to these things" well said! I get irritated by people planting a couple trees with a 2 or 3 plants underneath and claim permaculture!

To quote Yeomans, “The proper place for water is in the soil”

"...if you didn't empty a dam at the end of the dry season, it was a waste of capital." Catch the water and use it!
