[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5374116, member: 63856"] Literally - trees and hedges and scrub and weeds are your mineral pumps. They take things that are much deeper than the pasture species and store them up - all you have to do is find a way to get them cycling and they are beneficial, because then those minerals are in the cycle. Any excess is deposited where the pasture can utilise it. Or, you can just eliminate everything other than ryegrass and poke the animals with needles or put it down their throats, whatever works... It's lack of diversity and lack of unity that is a farmer problem, all these things would soon become present in the landscape given enough time and a lack of "good farming" Hence the issues that become apparent, deficiencies and costs being the main two. There's usually an abundance of minerals, farming often cuts itself off from them simply by growing the wrong stuff - I feel for the new member on here with the survey about planting trees, did you know that land that has trees can NEVER be used for farming again? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
