[QUOTE="Richard III, post: 5891318, member: 933"] [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] & [USER=54866]@ollie989898[/USER] I would say you are both looking at this the wrong way round. Who cares if they were any good at farming or not? Yes, they have managed to monetize it well, but that's not what is interesting about the book or the project either. The project has helped increase knowledge on just how complex nature is and how important it can be to restore this complexity in conservation efforts. The book is jam packed full of information on this. As a conservation ag. farmer Clive, you already have a head start on this, as you understand more than most about diversity & succession. If you are just a practical money man, or have no interest in the natural world (it's past, present or future) it's simple, don't bother reading the book, or visiting Knepp, it's not for you. Do we have a duty to hand down nature to the next generation, or just continue to slowly strangle it more and more as we currently seem to be doing? The government appears to be about to pour loads of money into conservation, but the experience at Knepp would suggest that at the very least, some of their schemes are misguided, is this not important? As always it's about balance, Knepp is a very valuable experiment to inform us about the most effective ways we can achieve this balance. [/QUOTE]
