[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7861711, member: 63856"] Having a farm that is no longer reliant on these inputs is only as real as you guys seeing that as a possibility - you get that, eh? If you don't really believe that it applies to you or 'can' apply or 'might' then it really probably just won't... life is like that, everywhere you look at it We actually have to own that 'the land is doing what it's doing because of how it's been managed', but to have the possibility there that it can still operate without (or with much much lower/less frequent) nitrogen inputs and be MORE profitable or just as profitable but MORE fun - that possibility has to be there for you? if that isn't there then there is probably something hiding in the background that's acting as a barrier, like the need to feed the world or something, I'd just go looking for what that is that's in the way and fire a few testing questions at it To my way of thinking the path to having more better grass through the summer dry period we now know to expect; is stop doing anything that encourages too-rapid recovery in the spring and adjust to this reality. I think in a battle of food vs climate change, water will end up deciding what sinks and swims in grass-farming, no matter what is getting sold to pay the bills [/QUOTE]
