[QUOTE="PuG, post: 7078338, member: 55620"] Yes, Soil Association in the UK since 1989 and Ecocert here in France - Dad back in the 80's realized the cost of spreading fertilizer wasn't economical even with the increased yields so he went that way before registering. All that lovely nice lush thick green grass, how many of the cattle do you find if they have a choice, necks through the fence grazing the tasty original herbal mixes? In the UK we under sowed our arable yearly with clover. Here we've started establishing vetch, pea's, barely, turnips in autumn and then flail mow May before the Sorghum goes in. According to the figures if its terminated and left your looking 100 - 250kg N per Ha (lifted from cotswold) and baled its still leaving around 60 to 70kg N. Plenty of different sources if you search on google. We're trying to move over to no-till at the moment, either plant autumn, terminate May for planting a cashcrop, or hole crop and put in Sorgho multi cut as soil conditioner to mulch down during the year.
