[QUOTE="novatech, post: 888406, member: 5494"] Some thoughts have come to mind in the past and I'm board so I thought I would go ahead and ask. (Probably dump on my part) 1. It is a well known fact that crop rotation works on crops. Wouldn't it work just as well on hay fields? Instead we have dedicated hay fields, removing organic mater for years upon years. 2. Why do most people plant mono cultures when a multi culture can produce a symbiotic relationship, improving production and may also aid in the nutritional requirements of the livestock? 3. Why do so many place so much importance on the quality and quantity of their hay yet on the other side of the fence little attention is placed on the pastures that are grazed most of the time? These questions are based on my little part of the world and I realize it is not the same everywhere. I just don't get out much. [/QUOTE]
