[QUOTE="rob1, post: 5973390, member: 332"] I used to do some mowing on an organic farm, yes he had good yields BUT he ploughed upland every three years for new clover leys and apart from the clover ryegrass and docks there was nothing, no herbs no different grasses, he used a lot of slurry to make the grass grow but then so do many conventional farms, compare him to one of my other customers who had mostly perm pasture with a large range of grasses etc but on a low input system, far more bio diversity but not classed as organic. He went organic and for a couple of years his yelds were good but then when years of fertility was used up yields fell off a cliff and he went back to his old system. f**king idiots are taking over the asylum, thank God im nearing retirement and apart from a bit of grain everything I sell is direct to the final buyer [/QUOTE]
