We converted to Organic in 2000 and have since moved to an all grass system this season, 250 Cows and finish beef from red clover silage. All loose-yarded, so making use of compost and recycling of nutrients according to soil analysis. We plate meter measure the grazing block weekly and have done for over 7 years giving a good idea which paddocks are under or over performing. Recently forage yields have declined; we will discuss if that is due to the difficult weather conditions or if there is some other factor after 13 year of organic farming.
