[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 8424444, member: 305"] On a lot of the cereal land when it was first ploughed out of grass in the middle of the last century it was sprayed with very effective insecticides that killed everything very Effectively benificials take a number of years to build back up if no insecticide is used so there was no chance of recovery once these were banned the effectiveness of the insecticide left reduced with constant use but benificials still take time to build up intensive cultivation weather and a rotation of crops without grass Weather later Drilling and rotation and no insecticide All help to get off the tread mill nb if I farmed in the south or south west the risk is higher but later drilling is possible the rewards when you get it right Lots of inspects grey partridge ect are not all monetary but good for your well-being [/QUOTE]
