[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8201563, member: 86168"] l prefer to call it sensible farming, we broadly align with regen principles, and to be perfectly honest, what we have done, has maintained production, and saved us money. The principles are quite simple, maintain ground cover, as long as possible, non inversion tillage, selecting the 'right' plants, to suit your soils, and rotational grazing, with cattle staying on 1 plot, for the shortest time possible, - you can see the daily grass growth, by doing that, and easily up your stocking rates. Shite is good, we all know that, it was just easier to use bagged fert, NVZ rules, enlightened us, on that. There are no rules, no restrictions on fert, or sprays, just pointers to improving your soils, which lead to less use of those chemical fixes. Arable, either needs shite, or stock, and rotation, which most of us know, even if we refuse to say it. Nothing complicated there, is there ? Livestock, if you can get 1 extra yr, out of a ley, without loss of production, alone, is a big saving, with no/little extra cost. Its seen as the way forward, by those who set policies, so, no doubt, it will become more main stream, and encouraged, so early attempts, can be easily applied, by any farmer, before rules are dictated to us, you might be pleasantly surprised.
