organic farming

Is there a link to the organic course you are doing?

Having read the article in the journal I can't figure out how it can work.Each shareholder will have to take restoration actions and point out the location where the restoration will take place.Commonage is land farmed in common .Each shareholder can grass the whole area Now can anyone pick an area of their choice? Would be impossible to get shareholders to agree on anything. The majority of shareholders never go near the commonage and certainly won't do any work. The majority didn't comply with the Glad rules so the y are hardly going to go actually going to do any work. The big difference to Glad is the advisor will have to check that the work is done and upload photos to Dept site

Commonage is a bollocks whatever way you look at it. Agree that they should all have been divided long ago.

Half the lads using them not talking anyway which doesn't bode well for any "collaborative" measures.

I agree there should be no payment if rules weren't followed. I imagine people will hope it's the same as Glas, very few inspections no stock out on commonage .everybody drew their fraudulent payment. No improvement in commonplace in 7 years

Basic slag it's very hard to spread filthy stuff. It gives lime effect on land. It's also provides trace elements mainly magnesium and sulphur with a bit of P.

There is some here in this link however I am unsure which are approved here

If who doesn't follow it? Who's payment is lost?

Should I suffer because my neighbour is cnut who doesn't care?

Its not only the payments side of it-

Putting in half the neighbours sheep in your gather and having to call them out first.

Your own sheep coming in with broken or pulled legs after his gather?

Some bollocks driving your sheep away to the bad end of it to keep the good side for his own?

Leaving Ram lambs out on the hill until October so you've a few nice early surprises out of hoggets or similar?

An absolute disaster from start to finish.

Commonage is a bollocks and should be divided by law without exception.

Nitrates derogations wouldn't affect too many of us with commonage i think.

This co-operation thing is a joke and rules quite a few of us including me out of Acres at all.

Got my spelling wrong. Fans should be rams.New laptop thinks it knows my mind

His argument is rather blunt - shure there are problems in relation to approaches to livestock management in pasture settings(more so actually in Western Countries were tolerance of wildlife sharing farmland is often rather low regrettably). But I've seen myself first hand having visited the likes of Turkey and Kenya how extensive livestock rearing can work in harmony with nature, right up to the top of the food chain.

Monbiot was on prime time recently debating this issue with Tim Cullinane; Monbiot wiped the floor with him using agressive , logical skills much like Liam Doran an ex head of the nurses union used to do when arguing his point on the media.

I may not have agreed with Monbiot but he is a brilliant performer and in this day and age thats all that matters.

Taking longer to raise means less animals over a given time

The fool (or bad actor) is promoting intensification....

Put them all in a shed = more animals and more land area dedicated to growing feed then + lower prices

Wouldn't surprise me if guys like this we're getting industry funding....

Huxley seems to have been more correct than Orwell.
