[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 8214081, member: 3566"] I guess that question is aimed at me. . . . I should have said 'can be' good management. If you keep livestock all year round, the grass should get away from you in June and July or you'll never have enough at other times. Ideally this extra grass should be harvested but topping off seed heads at the right time takes very little fuel and increases productivity and builds soil fertility. It would be good if the OP would give a better indication of his ultimate intentions as that hugely affects what would be the best advice. At the moment, it seems as if they want extra trees, extra biodiversity and the same income for selling the grass and grazing. ELMS should square that circle but it isn't yet. [/QUOTE]
