[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 8144588, member: 946"] Grass is a very good crop for some of the UK's agricultural land but probably not the best for prime arable land that is capable of producing way more calories with crops like potato's, carrots, etc. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but growing wheat for broiler chickens is more efficient than growing it to feed beef cattle etc. If you're feeding beef and sheep concentrates the land used to produce them has to be added to that animals production. How many in the UK finish stock off grass? It's a complicated question (we don't even know what the question actually was) with a growing population and increasing competition for land use, I think its worth asking. [/QUOTE]
