and we used to think RB209 restricted fert use, by far to much, we wouldn't be able to get the yields we need, just like the NVZ rules, didn't think we would be able to keep to them, and produce enough to keep going.
Well, survive we did, as no doubt many other farmers have, and begun to realise fert is not quite so important as we once did. Or is it a freak year ? For many, who could not afford, or get, fert this year, could be a good thing, if they have found the same growth, as we have.
There is a place for fert, P and K, fixes problems, and N is still a worth while tool, to promote early growth, and arable crops, but not deemed crucial, in use, and amount.
