[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 1725692, member: 166"] Monbiot usually has a sound basis for his rants. It's what he proposes as an alternative that is unrealistic IMO. Back on topic, much of the problem with maize is post harvest - too much bare soil over winter where there is no crop established afterwards. Harvesting in wet conditions doesn't help. The stock farmers growing maize after maize have the stubble with no cover crop over winter. Mixed/arable growers generally try & establish wheat afterwards. [/QUOTE]
