[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7432113, member: 42914"] I fully believe we have to stop following the damaging mantra (touted by the extension agents) of "maximising production". What they actually mean is "maximising inputs"! :rolleyes: I prefer "optimising" which can be the same thing but is often completely different. It's about what's best [I]for the farm[/I] and stuff "feeding the world". As for "February fill dyke": it was a common saying round here but the weather data shows that, on average, February is a [I]dry[/I] month for us. When it [I]is[/I] wet though, it's [B]wet[/B]. The worst floods in my career here were routinely in October or February (except snow melt ones, the very worst. Our biggest on record was March 1947 caused by warm rain on deep snow). [/QUOTE]
