[QUOTE="fudge, post: 3409122, member: 3047"] I completely agree with this assessment. I plough because it makes farming our soil easier, all the problems go in a hole, but there is no doubt that fields that were in grass until 2001 still have higher om content. This makes them easier to work and more resilient in wet weather but not necessarily higher yielding. The conclusion that I infer from this, admittedly empirical, evidence is that those who say that grassland holds more carbon than arable soils are correct. Stating the obvious really. I suppose if policy makers wanted to increase SOM they would limit the use of N, manure and bagged, to force farmers like me to adopt ley farming techniques. [/QUOTE]
