[QUOTE="martian, post: 6720990, member: 801"] Funnily enough, we are just setting up Groundswell Agronomy, as so many people who come to the Groundswell Show, go home full of ideas and inspiration and flounder about a bit when it comes to putting them into practice (or Dad says 'no'). The idea is that we won't be selling anything bar advice, which should be about your whole system, rotations, crops, timings, animals (livestock and wildlife) etc etc. The aim would be, like any half-decent shrink, to do ourselves out of business in a few years, ie hold your hand whilst you introduce regenerative practices, like stopping cultivations or introducing livestock into the arable rotation; then, after a few years when you've taken back control of your own farm, you kick us out. I really struggled with trying to manage no-till and a mainstream agronomist c/w a massive chemical bill. Booting him out and getting someone sensible transformed the job, but it takes a while to learn which chemicals (if any) you really need to deal with specific problems. We need to devote more time to understanding weeds, pests and diseases and what they are really telling us and not just reaching for a chemical bottle to treat the symptoms of disorder. Is there a market for this service? [/QUOTE]
