    Rewilding horse pastures?

    Why is this never discussed? Why is it always farming land that has to be re-wilded? Is it because a lot of the people who support re-wilding also like horse riding. Surely a hobby shouldn't carry more weight than feeding a nation?

    Pink barley straw!

    Started spring barley yesterday, Laureate. Yielding pretty well and nice looking sample, but the straw is a dusty pink - is this drought stress or a varietal characteristic?

    What food is U.K. self sufficient in ???

    Just pondering upon what foods we are self sufficient in. I know the figure on the whole is about 60%. But surely that includes all the stuff we eat that cannot be grown here ie bananas, etc If we had to become 100% self sufficient in food what would our diet look like ?
