[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7441277, member: 86168"] there is a group of 'nearly sensible' people that would argue that we are not the first civilisation to inhabit this planet, and would give evidence to 'prove' that, including a place where it would appear a nuclear explosion occurred. The mayans said the world would finish 2 yrs ago, or thereabouts. Whether right or wrong, there are plenty of things from 1000's years back, they cannot explain. Today, we are told the world is being 'killed' by us humans, or the main cause, intensive agriculture., the connection between intensive ag, and population survival, doesn't seem to have been made/realised. So following on from John Galway's point, why should we bother to try and help to save the world, if it's going to collapse anyway. That is easy, it may not. But mankind is having a serious attempt to kill us all off, and we know that life will have to change, to survive, and to survive, farming has to be a central point, as it holds the answers, from food supply, to carbon absorption. It's a sobering thought that so much is dependant on us, but mainstream think we are a major cause of it's demise. So where does that leave us, how/when will that penny drop. Regen ag is a theme that is growing, but so is the clearing of rain forests, desertification, and intensive farming, the latter is, abroad, heavily dependant on modern drugs. A nice lady locally, tells us her son in law, is being paid to break 1,000's of acres of virgin ground in africa, fine if 'properly' farmed, or not. One could go on and on, with examples of what is wrong, but we need clear answers/guides as to how guv's want us to produce food, is it better to intensify farming in 'civilised' countries, where we have the know how to do it, or do we source our food from countries, that don't give a toss about environment. It's fine us few doing our 'bit' but it's a drop in the ocean, compared to what's needed. A bit of deep physiology, for the first day of spring, looks great outside, but am mindful of the saying, march, in like a lion, out like a lamb. I did remember the whole saying, half your corn, and half your hay, on candlemass day, which was 2nd feb, so on one side, spring, the other middle of winter, no wonder we get confused ! The grazing season is just round the corner, and i hope it's going to be a good one. [/QUOTE]
