"If someone invented a machine that mowed, mulched, and fertilized all in one pass, you'd pay a fortune for it, but that is exactly what cattle do." Or sheep. Or, as Seis says, "You could use elephants if you like." Ditto for goats, with the added capability of shrub, vine, and tree pruning, or suppression, depending on management. One farm in California uses meat goats to prune olive and almond trees, saving huge amounts in labor, AND giving them another luctative crop- the meat.

Is he talking about only grasses/grain? Or is this for vegetables too?

[@andrewlock7397]

The Only Jamie Bourgeois I cant see why not Jamie if your soils have been look after and are healthy. Maybe have trouble with some veg not having enough oomf to get above the grass but I rekon if you are able and have the land why not give it ago. You may join a system. 👍

Seems logical that over time this will also benefit climate change pressures.
