[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8189393, member: 86168"] some can. Some rely on diesel, dread to think what our neighbour spends on diesel, but it doesn't do soil structure, or the environment any favours. But l don't think organic farming, can feed the world, or it would need a lot of educating to get anywhere near that, the problems more in the poorer countries, where some education, might help improve ag practices. But global food production, has to increase, to feed a growing population, and it isn't going to happen, without a good strategy. The price of fert, is obviously going to reduce production. We had a good early grass growth, with much less fert, but now, growth is slowing down, is that because of a shortage of N, or because we are rapidly drying out again, l don't know. I do know, that because of that early growth, we have 2nd cut grass fields available to graze, and those 'old' fashioned grasses, clovers and herbs, are still growing a bit. I don't know what the answer is, keep plodding on, but remain receptive to new ideas. And if someone can show me, that organic farming, would give the results we need, i'd try it. In all fairness, we are heading to wards a semi organic system, by reducing our reliance on chemical farming, but its still nice to have those tools, to use. [/QUOTE]
