Goven came up with a new grazing system

Bull!

Management intensive rotational grazing is as old as the hills. It mimics nature when nature still had preditors. Herds of ruminants bunched together, ate and trampled grass, and moved on to let the grass recover. Actually ruminants and grass co-evolved to suit each other's needs.

Allan Savory's book "Wholistic Management" is a good source. Also Andre Voisin's books such as "Grass Productivity". Not new books!

To: Poincare; farmfriend

Fantastic. More Freepers should post book references!!!!

I am nominating farmfriend for the most intelligent ping list. If there isn't such a category, there should be.

By the way, any farmer out there who wants to visit Europe to see how they preserve the traditional family farm has an open invitation. It is a ridiculous amount of money well spent, unlike US farm subsidies.
