Allan Yeomans is the Managing Director of the Yeomans Plow Co, and author of the book PRIORITY ONE: Together We Can Beat Global Warming (2005). Allan’s main concern for the last 30 years has been the prevention of global warming and the halting of climate change. He sees this as the most urgent problem facing humanity this century. His invention of the Yeomans Carbon Still aims to contribute to the collective effort to draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere using agricultural soils as a carbon sink.
