[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7325019, member: 86168"] we all waffle on a bit, reckon this thread wins the cup, for long posts ! And it's a bloody awful channel, that answers your question/thoughts, with another question/thought ! But it makes us think about what we do, how we do it, and why we do it. The whole thread is about a different way to farm, and once you start thinking along the lines, it's rather like turning a tap on, it keeps making you query what was 'the norm'. Once you realise that for years we have farmed the above ground, and ignored the underground, it becomes a continuous deluge of ideas. At the moment, i have come across an article about how growing root systems, absorb/store more carbon, than the leaf's, which in turn makes me wonder if our out wintered cattle, on kale, some of which is 'sprouting' behind the hfrs, is this seriously helping structure, simply by still being alive ? whereas i had thought those old stalks were a pain, useful when ploughed in, but we stopped ploughing........... you then see why we waffle on, 1 idea leads to another, and so on. I firmly believe we are correct in looking after, and improving the soil, the silly bit, it's quite cheap and easy to do, with the potential to increase our profits, why has it become mainstream ?
