Thought this may be worth a little discussion, especially for all of
you who are convinced that land is better put to crops for human
consumption than for animals.

So what do you propose to do with land such as much of that in the West of
the UK which is unsuitable for arable use?

The nearest thing to a graminivorous humaan was the robust Australopithecine
(despite some thoughts I may harbour about some poiliticans). What do you
suggest doing with this land?

How much diesel would it take to plough, sow, spray, and harvest an
equivalent area to that the forage harvester would have dealt with? How
much food does each process produce in terms of Kjoules/litre?
