[QUOTE="CopperBeech, post: 8080736, member: 8925"] Perhaps some ..... but I think you miss my point. Just because you farm a mixture of crops and animals doesn’t mean that you are doing anything to regenerate the ground. You could be banging bagged fert on, raping the ground, set stocking with sheep, whacking loads of bought in cake into them etc etc. It’s a bit like keeping ‘easy care’ sheep, but having them in a shed to lamb, creeping lambs, etc etc. I don’t think it’s got anything to do with being politically correct - I see regenerative agriculture of making more of what we can get from our own lands for free by working with the natural order, so using clover and cover crops, rotational grazing, companion planting, living mulches, composting, etc etc. Many mixed farms are regenerative and some aren’t. We can all learn something new from looking at the practices of others. Ok [/QUOTE]
