Dear Amir, hi!!
How are you?

Could you kindly release this news for the CA colleagues, please?

It is with great pride and honor and more than opportunely today, at the National Meeting of No-Tillage taking place in Colonia Friesland in Paraguay with the theme "50 years of No-Tillage in Latin America, the path to sustainable food production", we officially launched the English e-book version of Herbert Bartz biography: THE LEGACY OF HERBERT BARTZ: THE NO-TILLAGE SYSTEM PIONEER.

The e-book is available for purchase on amazon.com.

Because it is necessary to record and disseminate legendary stories, such as that of Herbert Bartz, filled with a lot of stubbornness, insistence and courage to do better agriculture, for the love and care of the soil heritage through the No-Tillage System facing an entire conventional system and fighting for a change of thoughts and paradigms.

This work is a sequence to the ones we launched this year with an effort to commemorate 50 years of pioneers of the No-Tillage System in Latin America.

Translation and proofreading was done by my cousins Heidrun Kronenberg and Lydia Kefford.
And the review, which I followed closely, was also carried out by Don Reicosky, a distinguished soil scientist and friend of Herbert Bartz.

The story of Herbert Bartz is now of the world!!!

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the 24 sponsoring partners who allowed these works to be carried out.
I am also grateful for the unconditional partnership of the Brazilian Federation of No-Tillage System and the Museo Regional do Plantio Direto in Mauá da Serra.

In addition, of course, to the author Wilhan Santin, the diagrammer Ricardo Gogel and the editor Rafael Silvaro of Editora Madrepérola for their work and especially for their patience with me and my demands.

I remind everyone who is interested in obtaining the works that all the funds raised will be destined to the Museu Regional do Plantio Direto for the organization, conservation and availability of all documentary material and machinery by Herbert Bartz. So you will not only be acquiring a book to learn about and disseminate a very significant piece of the history of our Brazilian agriculture, but you will also be helping to maintain and conserve the historical collection linked to this history.

Forte abraço,

Marie
