[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7548111, member: 86168"] l think it's terrifying how much has been forgotten, we have no idea of how much, at all. Clifton park is all about building soil fertility, to grow an arable crop, put very simply. Looking at it from that angle, what's not to like about it, arable farmers on light land, should be looking at that. Fert, sprays and machines, have a lot to answer for, they have made farming easy, but we have gone from using them as a tool, to total reliance, and the removal of stock from arable farms, in little more than 50 yrs. Rotation of crops to build soil fertility has gone, replaced by continuous arable, on many farms. Mixed farming was much more resilient than the single entity type farm, is it for the good, probably not, will it change, again probably not. [/QUOTE]
