[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 8201962, member: 63856"] What were the cattle grazing? One thing that I'll note here is that the "leave ⅓" is absolutely fine for stock grazing cover-crops, or where you want to add a layer of heavier residue. You could leave ⅔, or more. You could use a crimper roller or a sprayer or plough It's just that permanent pastures are not the same as "that", or at least there are other possible things that work better in practice unless you have a thing for running out of grass and "rolling coal" Most all of the advocates of top-grazing / leaf-driven have a different plan for winter - feeding animals hay (or shipping animals out) (or planting special crops) The group who advocate more intensive grazing / root-driven tend to graze forage all year round because they've got forage all year round to graze - there is zero machinery discussion but maybe one around selecting animals that fit. Hence my way isn't going to align 100% with either of these "formulas" - but I am leaning more towards 'the small efficient bovine' and 'the slow efficient grazing' because I can go drive a machine somewhere else.
