[QUOTE="Raider112, post: 8276622, member: 37326"] With the EU subsidies we were only allowed to plough out a percentage of our permanent pasture, presumably because of the carbon they retain? We are told that in this part of the world (but not in the rain forests) that PP is every bit as good as trees for sequestering carbon so why are we now being encouraged to have less PP? what's the point in discouraging us from keeping ruminants to save the planet if in doing so we are damaging the planet?
