[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7364602, member: 86168"] chickened out of that, we had a ley 'go wrong', year 2 was w clover over 75% of field, it was the small leaf, not sown, and i was going to drill wheat into it, got talked out of it, but wished i had done it. oad is an interesting thought, and is attractive in many ways, but it basically boils down to how much debt you carry, there is a big difference in yield, a good friend, went from organic oad, to robots, parlour bulk tank, to 1st collection robots, double the litres, and he has gone from 3500 l/cow to 6000/cow, very little has changed, the cows go through about 2.3 times a day, and still graze. We have got some serious money to borrow, in the next few years, to buy the farm, and we have to show our accounts, in the best possible light, although i already own a far chunk, family. thinking along the lines of what the cows do, selective grazing, take the best bits from all systems, and 'feel' our way through. It's a worthwhile exercise, to write out your thoughts on here, even if i'm long winded, it looks different when you actually look at them, in print, and you get a few thoughts thrown back at you. It's a sobering thought, realising that another dry summer good easily change our farming, dairy is one of the biggest cash flow exercises you can do, and we are good at, and profitable, but drought has removed the back fat, profits have fallen, not to loss though, and it is directly linked to drought, we have had to buy fodder, and a lot of it, for 2.5 winters, we have had to reseed some fields, x2, and overseed etc, costs well over normal, and then you have the cows yield, what is the amount of yield from grass we have lost, and now, we have to get thinks back on track. selective grazing, sounds rather good.
