I guess it simply suits their goal -
"be sustainable, hold onto it for the next generation"
But the next generation probably doesn't want it, feels pressured to take it on and pay yet another mortgage to the bank over a lifetime
f**k that, I want enough dripping out the bottom of the bag it pays for itself and our retirement!
So it's more than long grass and pretty pictures - otherwise it's all shooting from the hip - the PLAN, STAN
If you don't have a better plan, how can you expect a better result???
There's absolutely no point making excuses, like, "we don't have enough water" or, "it would cost thousands to subdivide that" - plan to do it, and get it done!!
Cows drink water and p'iss alot, cattle=water on the landscape, hence my main concern to beat these summer dry spells is grow the food early, put the cattle there to put the water in the equation.
If it rains, good, well keep them fed
If it keeps doing this, we'll sell more earlier
The fundamental mistake we all make, is not to organise our lives enough to make them work!
Same with grazing, same with financial growth and diversity of investments...
And so most of my neighbours are looking towards the little details and incremental areas of improvement, while oblivious that their business basics (grazing pasture) are really really flawed.
And they spend more money fixing that, than they'll ever see in their life
