Carbon-based and once-living

Trying new organic growing methods in real life. Scientific method and evidence-based only.On that damp island off the edge of the world. Save academic freedom.

@drichardson347 @Jes_Squirrell Dr Rickard is telling us what should happen, if empirical economics play through. In farming matters, logic and empirical economics do not happen. Something, always, turns up that throws normal life upside down. Question is, what will that be, and it better be pretty darn quick.

@AnnaLongthorp That is why he find it incredulous that so many farmers appear to keep going, in the absence of significant off-farm income. He has learnt very quickly and thank goodness he publicises it so well.

@cvfarming I wouldn't have missed the experiences , for the world. Unless apocalypse, I don't see it coming back. Every year something new came, nitrogen, ACR's, silage additive, maize silage, treated straw, gave us hope...until it didn't. Last milking hurt.

@Jes_Squirrell @TWBFarms @agricontract @loosecollie @wheat_daddy @GBNEWS No big money has been put into research yet, but, there are a couple of avenues to explore, now push is coming to shove. Clover produces a lot of N, easily enough for the annual arable crop.

@muddymuddymum Even more important to reduce background inflammation in these circumstances, if I might say.
Inflamed vascular system impairs circulation, impairs healing.

@harrym_vids As you know, the Gov't used to underwrite food production with the acreage payment. The arithmetic is gradually dawning and it is not pretty.

@FWAbiKay In the grand scheme of things, I think I would allocate some strategic spending to keep people producing food in this country. Especially people willing to work for next to no wages and be happy doing it. A lot of expertise and experience is going to be lost now.

@cattlefinishers The sensors often prevent major mechanical damage, eg in g/boxes, so it saves in the end.

@cvfarming Experience.

@aviationarchive What a lovely design. Hint of Vulcan there?

@EdwdPrice @Tiggertagg1 We like a match finish in these parts. Only way to cut out turf growth is to bury 100% of the green matter.

[Carbon-based and once-living @AndCarbon]

@Tiggertagg1 Well I'm blowed. Must be getting old. Blame the low sun.

[Carbon-based and once-living @AndCarbon]

@EdwdPrice @Tiggertagg1 Discs are extra weight, but worth it every time, being organic anyway.

@duffy1972 All these imported raw materials make the case, then. When/if these imports are not available, and we have no indigenous production capacity bc it has all been outsourced?

@EdwdPrice @Farmer_Tom_UK Sir is too kind!
