[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 8287384, member: 63856"] There is, in many instances. Not so far as ripping out hedges and tearing down walls, but if a dirty great harvester can't turn around in the field then you know what the problem is. One thing I note here is that paddocks would be the right size for the right number of animals, except those animals are all divvied up into several groups, and that's really what makes their paddocks "too big". Then, by having animals in ⅓ of the paddocks all the time "the farm isn't big enough to lengthen out the rotation" so even more reliance on machinery and harvesters and specialty crops is often the result of that. But it doesn't have to be like that at all, because ruminants simply wouldn't be around to farm if it had to be like that... would it? It's just not considered normal to graze a large number of animals in a small area for a short period of time, despite what evolution and observation of wild herds can show us [/QUOTE]
