[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 40167, member: 487"] You've challenged paradigms and set me thinking Elmsted, just what the forum is for and you're probably more right than wrong! Having said that, B&B Pig Man isn't planning 6 years in advance really. He would only be doing that if he was going to plant all his farm in WB this year and next, and all his farm in OSR in year 3 etc, in line with his proposed rotation. The reality is he's actually planning to plant three different crops this year - 67% of it will be down to WB, and just over 33% down to a combination of OSR and Spring Beans. No doubt if he suffered a couple of years of failure on, say, OSR (!) then he would readdress the rotation. He wouldn't carry on doggedly to the end of year 6, repeating the same mistake each year. I hope.:rolleyes: By making some sort of plan, you can make your farm more efficient eg block cropping & logistics, weed control, etc. I agree farming is akin to entering a Monte Carlo casino but whether you make a plan and roughly follow it or don't plan and make decisions in August each year, you're still gambling with the unknown.
