[QUOTE="Treg, post: 7441297, member: 42292"] Intensify western farming...Living/ farming in probably one of the most intensely farmed areas, I can tell you it won't work without a complete change of mindset. Most of the farms here are multi cropped veg farms & ....flowers :rolleyes: The growers are changing and are starting to cover crop but the problem still is when you grow a crop in wide rows , when it rains the soil disappears, over 10yrs you haven't got a good soil left. A neighbour has rented out for Broccoli for 5 years his bottom hedges used to be 4ft plus high now there 18 inches. Flowers - hundreds of acres not picked this year, looks nice but a damaging crop that in the end has no real use ( especially when not picked ) , they seem to grow well in the verges so probably better cropped from there :) [/QUOTE]
