[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7403293, member: 86168"] would be interesting to see what conditions were like pre human interference, there must have been a 'problem' for the drains to be put there, 2 fields across, still up on top, there was an ironage village, that would be our driest ground, and contains the remains of a dewpond, and two very old stone drains. As now, farming is a gamble against the weather, more so for those past farmers, produce or starve, so any increase in production would be welcome, hence the land was improved, we take those improvements, as normal, and add to them, however, farming now, as then, is not so different, we cope today, by importing 40+% of our food, yet twice in the last century, we have faced severe food shortages. It's a pretty stupid thing for our guv, to go full bore at reducing carbon in the UK, and by the way of doing it, reduce food production, yet happily rely on imports, from across the globe, where carbon means diddleysquat.
