[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7098100, member: 54866"] The robot job is the exact same thing, only with a lot more £ signs. I've heard loads of people say: 'ah those robots, they no good, so and so put them in and took em out a year later' assuming it was the robots to blame. Doesn't work that way, I've said it before here, the key to success is the people managing it and little else. You hear similar 'ah robots- you'll end up with terrible milk quality and high SCCs' it's nonsense. I view organic as being similar. People seem to think that the higher price for the end product will mask it all and heck, look at the money they won't be spending on fertiliser but it they aren't careful you can be circling the drain in no time with ever declining yields of forage. It doesn't take many years for conventional land to go backwards big time and lose it's get up and go, I've spent enough time trying to get land back into shape to know it can get expensive. People who go organic after several years of neglecting their land end up on a hiding as they are on the back foot before they start. [/QUOTE]
