[QUOTE="Secret Agronomist, post: 8009069, member: 153120"] Business wise, cutting costs too far actually increases per unit cost. Our cereals are breaks for the roots, key is keeping problematic weeds down. Don't use manufactured P on cereals, apply to maps and off take. Use cover crops to cycle nutrients and improve soils and hopefully reduce problems in roots. Home saved seed when possible. Keep simple machinery longer. Grow crops that need less N (rye and s. Barley) introducing sheep to graze covers to provide a small amount of income and defray CC costs. Employ better labour and reduce need for less efficient part timers. Personally not a lot, don't really go out much, don't have sky etc etc etc. Working from home has trimmed wife's travel costs, there's not a lot to trim. In both cases you still have to think of the long term, could stop P and K but that has long term impacts, same with personal stuff, if you stop investing and replacing stuff it just costs more later.
