While I 100% agree with everything said on this video. When it has a Facebook banner over the top and some pansy with a yank accent narrating it I all of a sudden find my less willing to listen.
Crazy isn't it. Think it comes from years of animal rights propaganda machine
I do like the phrase "mining the soil" - most farmers are so stuck in their mindset that they see what we're doing here as exactly that.
Shame on you PeteI do like the phrase "mining the soil" - most farmers are so stuck in their mindset that they see what we're doing here as exactly that.
"Oh it'll be all the fertiliser and lime from back when youse were susbsidised" and other mind blowers
There is simply no viable substitute for good grass and soil management, they have tried for best part of a century to better it, and nothing reliably and sustainability beats farming to maximise free inputs.
Right, confession time: my Angus steers didn't hit 2.5kg, only just 2kg over the past 6 weeks
Must be working them a bit harder...

This thread is getting long i really need to sit down and watch these videos and read these articles or ill never do it
I will. Every time i get an alert for this thread im (timewasting damn 4g signal ) doing something like moving electruc fencing (like now) so dont wamt to waste even more time watching videos or settling a sleeping baby at 3am and dont want to be awake for the rest of the night watching them. Which i have been known to doGo for it - It's worth it
@Kiwi Pete and @Farmer Roy : I'm seriously thinking of doing the Open University Environmental Science degree before heading down to NZ:
http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/qualifications/q52#course-details
I think it could fit in well with us starting to adopt regenerative principles here as well as possibly helping me to get some consultancy work with my EA background once in NZ to keep me busy in quieter months
Does that sound sensible?
