[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 8184947, member: 12800"] Yea my LA has just taken PP that's on heavy clay, and put it into biomass rye wholecrop, the land agent looking for licencees to graze it next year said that same - Needs to be totally sterile so they can hit their eco targets as easy as possible. .it hasnt seen crops since the previous tenant tried in the 80's (he retired last year). The field margins had bee orchids and everything else in, the fields were pretty good diverse PP had sucklers and occasionally winter tack sheep on for 20 years, well cared for, but as it was hard clay (soil smears shiny blue), never ploughed, but always plenty of muck and lime. The LA are trying to maximize the amount of BD they can claim, while also maximizing tree planting (ironically bad for BD) to satisfy the different branches of the loud shouty protesty types (LSPT - the latest gender identity) that the media likes to talk about, while also still farming..... Typical public sector thinking - spreadsheet targets over facts and reality, and combine that with the econazi ideology and you just mess it all up. [/QUOTE]
