[QUOTE="Tyedyetom, post: 7378830, member: 105274"] I can see I’ve opened a can of worms with the urea comment! I understand the negative affects it can have and am not pushing its use, my comment was ment that a lot of farmers will be using fertiliser even if they don’t want to. And that with an all grass system there would be enough protein in silage with out the need for an extra source. When I was working at home our autumn calving cows would self feed grass silage and have 6-7 kg ofwheatgluten in the parlour. They Would not produce high yields about 1.6-1.8 kg milk solids through the winter with a flat lactation and hold condition well. One of the reasons my wife and I decided to leave the family farm and look for a tenancy of our own was that we didn’t agree with the reliance on chemical fert to keep and artificially high stocking rate. it was just an observation, I didn’t realise somfarmer had maize too. A different context. I’ll be at the back of the class now🤦♂️ [/QUOTE]
