[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8153144, member: 86168"] simple, less ryegrass ! Suitable festuloliums, cocksfoot, fesques, timothy, and suited rye grass - some varieties are 'drought' resistant, herbs and clover. That is what we have used, next stage, is more varieties of herbs etc. But, whatever we use, it simply has to produce a sward, that produces milk/beef/lamb, at a profit, and that, is why there is so much debate/ridicule/hostility, to them, they are a recent revival, so results are 'unproven' as yet, risking profit, is a big decision. The biggest risk of change, is world food production, not that l worry about that, but if the system was widely used, would it produce enough food, to feed the 'world' ? The same question can be asked about organic systems. Would it leave the risk of desertification, or deforestification, or degradation of present farm land ? Its not a simple yes, or no answer. Sensible, controlled intensive farming, also has a responsible future, it could reduce the danger of the above. Nothing is ever easy, or straight forward, in life. [/QUOTE]
