[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 6721610, member: 42914"] That's a whole minefield in itself here. :rolleyes: It used to be relatively well understood as: Permanent pasture has been in grass long term. generally it has a mix of traditional grasses and some herb content. Given the UK variability the actual species mix could vary hugely. Our permanent pasture contains, amongst other things, Annual Meadow Grass, Foxtail species, Bent species, Cocksfoot, Clovers and Yarrow. Temporary grass has been reseeded regularly and is dominated by ryegrasses. Then the EU/UK authorities decided to mess things up by decreeing that once a field had been in grass for 5 consecutive years it was classed as permanent pasture, regardless of the species content or whether it had been reseeded or overseeded in that time. It could only then be taken out of pasture after an ecological impact assessment had been conducted and, should the total area of pasture in the member state drop below an undeclared threshold the land manager could be forced to return it to pasture.
