[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7680044, member: 86168"] how long before we end back up, with 'proper pp', not sure it will go that far, but we need to get a sward that gives even production, throughout the grazing season, we know clover comes into it's own, as grass growth declines, what other alternatives, can we use/choose. Salesmen, totally rely on getting us, to part with our money, if they don't, they loose their job. Exactly the same thing happens, in factories, research centres, seed houses, and perhaps the most obvious one, cattle breeding, and AI, if that has been as good as they claim, cows would be averaging 15,000 litres by now, after 60 years of better bulls, they don't, in fact many herds are producing the same yields as 40 yrs ago. The number 1 aim of a salesman, is to get us, to trust them, and then screw you over, it's how they make their living. It's not about who has the biggest yield, it's about who has spent the least, to get there. Rather a lot of dairy disposals on the books, the majority of them, have spent large amounts of money, in upgrading their facilities, and finding labour to run them, or, cannot make them pay, for the investments made, and salesmen, at each, and every step, from bank manager to builder, talked them into doing it, and for certain, more money was made, by the salesmen, than the farmer.
