It's good I guess. Carbon capture and all that.
It's not that great... Any kind of monoculture is laying waste to the surrounding area.
Aren’t paddocks even worse monoculture?
Only if you're spraying to kill off the gorse, broom, ragwort & thistle ;)
Have you ever seen a paddock that isn't just grass eaten to the nub?
