[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 6858869, member: 3656"] And here's the bit that no one else talks about. If I farmed in England, with better weather than here, I would very likely still be zerograzing. But there are just to many spells of wet weather on this farm in an average year for it to be to my pleasing. It's too hard on our ground. We don't have any sand in our soils, and so travelling over our silty clay loams when its damp just seals them over and causes kill out. Our soils are rich, and as [USER=6883]@Beef farmer[/USER] said, we can grow plenty of grass (between late April and end of August), but not if we don't respect the land in the conditions we're sent.
