well not all the farms have spreaders, some still use anhydrous ammonia, but I think that is going away based on events of late. compaction is a big concern on my farm. also labor and time to do this. does it matter spring or winter application? Wondering about ideas for how to handle those issues

Is this exclusive to agriculture, or could it be used simply to generate and sell carbon credits? If I have cheap open land in a rainy area near a source of refuse crushed basalt it seems I could have Lithos apply it to my land and monitor the results to qualify for carbon credits to be sold.

Does it matter what type of crop is planted to get the carbon reduction of 2 tons/acre? Does the amount of water put on the field from rain or irrigation speed things up at all or does that matter?

Can a small island country like the Dominican Republic take action, I work around areas that mine basalt and there is a lot of banana and sugarcane growing there. Somebody contact me if there's something to be done there... arenareyes@gmail.com

How much carbon is emitted in obtaining and transporting the basalt?
