[QUOTE="crashbox, post: 7872597, member: 143639"] I'm a conventional dairy farmer... but like lots of us, have been looking at ways of growing enough forage with less/no synthetic fertiliser. Due to both economic and environmental considerations. For example herbal grazing leys and red clover silage leys. So Gabe Brown reckons he can grow more grass/cereals/maize/etc. With no synthetic fert than his neighbours do with fert, essentially by no-till, cover cropping and mob grazing. What are peoples' experiences of how much forage you can really grow organically? For anyone who has made the switch, what was the yield drop (e.g. in grass growth) going from conventional to organic? What did you have to do differently, apart from no spray and fert? TIA [/QUOTE]
