[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6646088, member: 86168"] we are looking at our 1st real spring grazing year, the silage conundrum, we have h rye to put 4/500 tons in the pit, fine, but the grass that gets ahead of the cows, do you wait for enough to open pit, or do you bale it, when it is at ideal stage? We hate bale wrap, it always smells of cats, and it lingers on you, and ends up looking a mess ! But, top quality bales, would be ideal for y/s, or do we go the next step, and make into hay, weather permitting ? unfortuantly, you are right. Single use plastic is already in the 'sight' of enviromentalists, plastic carrier bags for example. As a country, we are fairly 'green', but, because of our benign society, people can demonstrate, without any comeback on them, so we are an easy target. But, where the big problems are, China, India etc, they couldn't demonstrate without fear of severe comeback, so they stick with the easy target, us. Our farming systems are under pressure, to stop using this drug, or that spray, but, what they don not realise, is that imported produce, which is cheaper, have no restrictions, or few, on sprays, drugs, hormones, insecticides, and animal welfare. If they are really dedicated, or green, they should go and demonstrate in those countries, but they don't, i wonder why ? [/QUOTE]
