Neils from central Holland gives us a quick tour of his farm and shows us how he feeds his cows as cheaply as possible. Neils uses a his Grass Technology zero grazer for bringing grass from the field to the barn, where he keeps his cows. Neils has noticed many, many other benefits to zero grazing apart from cheap feed. He has noticed decreased meal costs, decreased contractor costs, higher quality milk, less fertiliser and much much more.

The more intensive pharming becomes the more it goes inside. Pig and poultry have gone inside and disappeared. Now cattle farming going the same way. How long do cows last inside on hard surfaces. I cannot believe there is no compaction issues. To see a machine cutting grass that is not even lawnmower grass, probably no diversity looks very unnatural. The only metric of approval today is production levels. What about all the extra slurry in a wet year. Is there any wildlife on that farm.

The machine does less damage on the land than cows do. The slurry is spread onto the fields to help grow more grass.

It's the Netherlands, land is at a very high premium, and the fragmented nature of his land encourages this kind of system. Just because a farming system has always been a particular way doesn't mean it can't change.

I believe that farmland and housing should not be allowed to be a return on investment. The Dutch have been obliged to cull huge numbers of cows because they dont have enough land to spread slurry. From this comes the nitrogen derogation EU wide, a further inflation of land prices. At least this farming family is adding value to production, ie yoghurt and milk sales. Farming is about food and most pharmers are fed from supermarkets inc my own country, Rep of Ireland. I regard modern pharming a disaster re ecology, environment and economics. All over the 1st world we have the oldest, smallest and most unsettled nations of farmers. Young people dont want to know. A retail cost of production for a commodity reward is NOT a business. Farmers, with no added value are caught between the two. Take out EI monies and off farm job income and how many will remain.
