[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7299306, member: 946"] Agreed, some land is only suitable for grass and it makes sense to graze that grass with stock and produce Beef and Lamb. I don't think there's that big of an issue there. The problem that these "experts" are worried about is all the other cropping land that is used for Beef and lamb. You have to add in the land that grows the Wheat, Barley, Maize etc, into the Beef or Lamb production, plus all the concrete, sheds and diesel that are used. Lets face it if the Beef price went up massively people would plough up arable land and plant grass too. Its why countries like NZ are trying to distance themselves from these intensive Beef, Lamb and Dairy systems by trying to show that their Grazing only approach is better for the planet. The UK Beef industry might help itself by learning more about grazing? It's fairly obvious reading some of the Beef threads on here, that some people completely dismiss grass and grazing. I'm not saying I agree with any of it but that's the kind of thing that's being pushed these days [/QUOTE]
