[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 6784494, member: 1951"] It is a situation which is asking for trouble. Roots will also be an issue ,but we do have to eat, which cannot be said of the majority of Maize growing going into AD plants. Maize was mooted and heavily promoted in the 60's . In 1968 we had locally crops being harvested using Moxeys to get it off the fields as nothing else could. This killed the crop for several years except for a few growers on very light land. I agree that it is an excellent feed and break crop and would be a terrible shame if it was banned, but growers are going to have to refine techniques to banish the damage to the subsoil and run off of the top soil [/QUOTE]
