[QUOTE="upnortheast, post: 7702251, member: 3010"] Seems to me the main thing you need to go Organic is plenty of rain. I know a number of folks west of Pennines (50 or 60 inch rain ) doing a good job growing organic grass. Twitter followers will probably have come across JRfromstrickley who gets impressive organic results in South Cumbria, This side of the hill with a rainfall around 25 inches it is more difficult. One of the main men at Nafferton ( mentioned earlier in this thread ) thought he needed 30% more land to produce the same amount of milk. (That does raise a question about feeding the worlds billions of mouths ? ) Another local farm seems to be struggling to grow sufficient grass, especially mid summer. Does pee me off when people use organic as an excuse for running a shite hole. [/QUOTE]
