  1. I would say that they should all find the sweet spot, using as little fertiliser as possible. A better yield with less pollution, and less costs for the farmers because they don’t have to purchase (as much) fertilisers any more. Where are the disadvantages of such a move?

  2. Great to hear, this clearly means we’re on the right track.

  3. An unintended benefit of high energy prices and the war in Ukraine. The govt should raise taxes on fertilisers as prices come down.

  4. No surprise
    Farmers for years have willingly let themselves be brainwashed by the right wing and their corporate masters that you have to kill everything with expensive chemicals and then use expensive chemicals again and again and again

  5. And it happens after Brexit? If not, what else changed? It is quite impressive to have higher yield and less cost.
