[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 7319424, member: 610"] This is the point the vegans/antis etc miss. Much of the food fed to cattle is the byproduct of human food production. I have fed a lot of Trafford gold in the past, it became too expensive mainly due to the cost of getting it to Wiltshire. There should be more protein for livestock grown in the uk but realistically how economic is it, I’m buying beans to replace rape meal, they cost me £200/ t before rolling, as a milk producer I don’t really want to pay more than this as rape meal then becomes the product of choice. If I was allowed to feed soya it is also about the maximum I could pay before soya is the choice. But as the one who runs the arable enterprise here I am not keen to grow any more beans they are just too unreliable, flints and chalk just make peas a no go, I have no idea about the potential of lupins but keen to give anything a go. I’m growing Lucerne on the arable farm this year for black grass reduction and more cow protein. Perhaps the government should realise that by banning nicatinamoides they have perhaps increased the amount of soya that will be brought into the country because of the reduction in rape area.
