[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7357276, member: 86168"] between all the posts on here, there is definitely a consensus that say's grazing management is a critical part of 'regenerative' systems, if we take that one step further, (or several), by how much, can ren farming affect our bottom line, profit. That for all off us, is the important result. Given that we are improving our soils, hopefully saving money on sprays/seeds/fert, by how much, can our improved soil, treated carefully, increase the stocking density of our farms, i am absolutely sure, that statement can be substantiated, from our own little experiments here, especially with the tight grazing, long rest, we have found that not only can you increase the stocking capacity, you can improve the quality of the grasses in it, so, win win. I think a quote from greg judy, in that we adapt our farms, to allow for a system we are told/advised/want to do, and we really have to change our mind set, a very hard thing to do sometimes. It seems entirely stupid, to be told, by stocking grass less, you can achieve more output. Pretty well up the to the invention of refrigerated ships, most of the meat eaten here was home produced, that and the mass importation of cheap grain, were the two main drivers pushing home produced downwards.
