Now, I’m a rank amateur and don’t profess to have any farming knowledge of capabilities beyond any other random lad you could lift out of a council estate…..but I did study this subject extensively. Now, over here it’s all cattle in the main and the given wisdom is “the bigger, the better”, killed at 30 months, start again along with all the prescribed medication/worming programmes as set down by the ministry ! My postman has 300 cattle and his bagged feed bill alone every month is €1800 ! But, during the course of my reading and studying I came across a breed of cattle called A

If we want to really climb down a rabbit hole, manure is full of weed killer residue and chemical treatments for animals…..!! But a closed circle regenerative operation don’t need any of that because everything feeds itself just as nature intended, regenerative almost eliminates inputs. Ive never routinely medicated any of my livestock because I have to eat it and hey presto !….none of them died !

Seen how dignified the Jews are on the news. Be different if it was Muslims.

I notice a combination of both animal manure and later in the season what looks to be growmore being spread by farm contractors on the local fields , which used to be amongst the best grey partridge land in the country at one time, even now as the houses are being built on them the place is full of skylarks

So it should grow live stock…..it can only artificially grow wheat and that comes at the expense of destroying the soil ! Nature always tells you what’s best. Ill also add, it need a chemicals to grow a monoculture crop but may not need chemicals in a mixed planting scheme in conjunction with over sowing, the soil can be adjusted naturally…..that farmer is just spewing what he has been told all his life by the same government bodies that get sponsored by the likes of Monsanto and Bayer !

A farmer nearly 100 know a bit more than me but here goes Victoriana times when fertiliser was used first places like the Yorkshire wolds which is basically a bit a sandy soil on chalk was shite for crops they had to grazesheep then use the fields now its the best cereal land in the country impossible without chemical fertiliser

No worries mate nice to see youngens getting involved in the breeding.

A cowardly attack by a bunch of c**ts. Cheers.

Seen a chap with two whippets yesterday had a chat with him . Made me f***ing dizzy chasing each other about watching them. Very fast. -
Of course it would, once you’d repaired the years of damage to the soil that weed killers, insecticides and chemical fertilisers had done to the soil….so, here is a fact, most British farm soils are all but dead….as in dead ! They now rely on being kept artificially alive by chemicals but it’s a zero sum game because eventually, they will be able to sustain nothing even with chemicals. But, nature is a wonderful thing, they can be brought back to life if you want to. Yield and it’s ability to feed in monoculture systems is part of another massive and wider conversation but it ca

There’s nothing “safe” about glyphosate mate, period !
-
The old farmer is a gonk ! Of course you can farm without chemical fertilisers, soil is designed to hold nutrients !
-
I’m trying this for this season; No glysophate. Replant in 3 days. Animal and bird safe after six hours. See how effective it is Cheers.

The council here comes round on a quad and sprays a salt water and vinegar mix around the verges. I know the lad that does it . He told me they add vinegar to cut through shiny type leaves. I’ve tried it on my own back yard and it works and is harmless to the dogs. I use glysophate type weed killer on the allotments but do it in the afternoon and it’s supposed to be safe for animals and birds after 6 hours so, theoretically, it should be safe the next day. Cheers.

Yes mate they would plant things side by side alternate crops.etc But places like Say the Yorkshire wolds all stone under you couldn't farm without fertiliser or so an old farmer was telling me lol it wouldn't hold the nutrients
-
The crop fields should be full of wild flowers etc as well as the intended harvesting crop, like in the olden days, all the pollinators thriving doing their job and providing insect life for songbirds to feed on, it's all a big con
-
The lads go round the housing estates etc with the knapsack and pump spray or the quad bikes with the tank load, cannot be doing any good, even the cosmetic look of the dried out and dying vegetation looks pretty shitty

Lucky we got you mate to let us know what’s really happening otherwise I’d be led to believe the yanks have total air superiority by the way they are just coming and going at will thanks for risking it all so we know what’s really happening

I've found over the years , that the more I eat game meat , the more I prefer it . Not liking it is more in your head , than on your palette. I remember the first few times I ate squirrel. I was a bit freaked out by it , because I'd always seen them as rats , but once I'd eaten a few , my brain realised that they're delicious. We eat much more game meat that I've harvested myself, than shop bought meat.
