You don’t need chemicals to get good grass, just proper rotational grazing practices. Look up Greg Judy on leasing land

@Bushmanoz you don’t need a tractor to get good grass.

@MrAboo I know, but there is a hell of a lot I do need a tractor for.

@Bushmanoz honestly the Greg Judy method boils down getting electric wires and setting up paddocks you put cows or sheep in. Let them graze the grass a day and move them in the morning to a new paddock before the grass is over grazed. You continue doing this over and over again. You decide the size of the paddock based on the amount of cattle you have grazing and how fast they graze. Maybe 10 cattle in half an acre. If the grass is poor quality get a lot of hay and spread it on the ground. Let the seeds from there sprout and begin the growing process.
What’s he plan on making off it? Millet grass? Or something?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout No, he just wants to add lime to the soil, get rid of tussock grass, stuff i can do, and then put his beef cattle on it. 5 years is a long time to give up control, but one shitty summer and it wont bring any money in if I agist
@Bushmanoz if you both can make a buck off it.. go for it.. but get an agreement on paper.. you don’t want him cut n running

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Nah, hes got a really good rep, people love this bloke. On one hand, he'd totally clean up the place. The previous owner let it go, black berries, tussocks, but I dont mind hard work, and figure i will go stir crazy if I am only in the house making cookies or some crap
