Clean air strategy

I shouldn't take too much notice of the Duck @Warnesworth.
We think he can read, but doesn't often quite grasp what you are actually saying. Often in a manner that suggests you meant something completely different, launching off into a tirade of abuse and hurling it back towards you.
Just remember what rhymes with Duck and leave it at that.

Or even better, just remember the saying
"[D]uck this for a game of soldiers" and you'll be fine!

Jeez, what an prize plonker!

I know what my cows do when turned out on my land in very wet weather, believe me. I don't live near Chipping Norton and I don't keep them in a shed for fun!

I'm sure an intelligent person like you would research what mob grazing is before summarily dismissing it

Average of 30" of rain there. Probably not as much as Ceredigion. 35" average? Not vastly different.

I'm sure you are aware of different soil types, shelter, soil depth and drainage capacity before painting the country with the same broad brush.

I wouldn't dare to do so, nor would I write off something I knew nothing about.

I haven't written it off. I have expressly implied that it may suit some areas and not others. What is it that is so difficult to comprehend about that?

 

[Brisel]

Whatever.

Whatever.

“Won’t work on my farm”.
And with that phrase the death of innovation continues on it’s relentless march...

It won't work on the majority of farms in this area. Do you really believe that intensive keen farmers are unaware of the potential carrying capacity of their own land? Whether the cows will sink in mud or not and how deep the holes left by their feet would be? Whether their soil will be compacted by cow's feet or not? Whether they have enough shelter for the cows? What their drainage is like? What kind of soil they have?

I suspect that you have limited experience of areas other than those similar to your own square mile. A lot of farmers are like that and assume that others have similarly limited experience. They, you three, really should get out more.

Last winter, 2017/18, not even a quad bike could get across even my driest field for seven months. Yet you expect my cows to mob graze over an extended period. You're having a laugh!

Yet the year before they were out until 1st Dec and again at the end of March. Last Summer the land burnt to a crisp and you'd never guess it could have been so wet only a few months previously.

So my grazing has to be totally flexible and it is certainly weather dependant.
