[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 7360985, member: 1232"] Oh we are still are stuck in our paradigms for sure. My view is that if you want to make a claim that apparently scientific or even quantifiable (or "true") then you need to be able to back it up with some information. And within the "regen ag" world there is a lot of stuff that is unquantifiable stuff that doesn't for me stand up to scrutiny scientifically. And I think it is a real weakness. I feel sometimes people make leaps of faith on certain issues because "if feels right" and I'm asking is this rational ie does it stand up to scrutiny, repeatedly? I don't go for the reductionist-science thing. Science can do anything you ask of it if you asking the right questions - its not the limitations of the scientist is the limitations of our question/ theory. In Doug Edmeades' case he always backs up his research. He is not pro or anti fertiliser in any given circumstance but he always makes sure he see's the evidence. For example he's very pro clover as a nitrogen fixer, he's not a fan of additional P if he feels the test says the soil has enough, he is not a fan of repackaged upmarketed fertilisers or soil balancing because he feels the research behind them doesn't back it up and I agree with him. He won't allow I think the only area where I feel a difference with him is that because so much dairy is about short grass grazing that there is definitely more potential to look at the interaction between longer roots, rhizosphere and nutrient availability but this all dependant on how you farm [/QUOTE]
