I've had the opportunity to dialog with staffers with a couple of U.S. Congressmen about agrichar. I was pleasantly surprised to find both staffers aware of agrichar. Lisa Wright is Rep. Roscoe Bartlett's press secretary and stem cell research specialist. Stevens Berry is Rep. Lee Terry's energy advisor.

In Ms. Wright's case, she put me in touch with Robert Fireovid with the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, who is directing a half dozen research efforts nationally that are investigating agrichar's value as a soil amendment and carbon sequestration vehicle.
