[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 7873790, member: 70596"] How much are you growing and utilizing now, like this past year? How much will fertilizer price increases increase your cost per tonDM? Id bet there is something to be gained from just grazing management improvements alone. If you are looking to decrease your cost per ton DM I’m not so certain looking to organics would be a very good idea. Organic is based on limiting tools that you can use on your farm based on arbitrary, perceived good or bad qualities they have. But many that are organic are very good at maximizing what they can produce under organic rules. But organic doesn’t really have anything to do with understanding your soil life, soil structure, carbon cycle, water cycle etc. In your climate I’d be skeptical that anything will touch N fed ryegrass+Some clover for dairy quality yields, on dairy ground anyway, look at alternatives very closely. I’m a big fan of gabe brown and his tribe and the 5 principles of regenerative agriculture. The principles are sound, focus on those and not necessarily specific practices. [/QUOTE]
