[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7740986, member: 63856"] You've already got plenty of N cycling in the system without adding any 🤷♂️ the key really is to just not lose much of what is there. Most of what is added on top is really just pollution not profit, eg if you have a cow per acre then there's roughly 250kgN/ha cycling in the biological system... Daisy's liver is busy enough dealing with that little lot, you can make her make more milk but it comes at a cost The main thing you notice is that the vet bills' decimal point shifts across a notch, and pasture management is a heck of a lot easier without it - but that's on an efficient grazing system because that cycle is healthy. It can soon be lost from that cycle though, eg make a stack of silage somewhere and all that N is parked up. Really all it does is alter time - the grass comes earlier and signs off earlier. The cow makes 30,000 litres earlier and dies younger. [/QUOTE]
