    Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.

    I’m not a farmer either but it has changed a lot in my lifetime.

    Tbh I think we’ve gone kind of crazy with the amount of nutrients we’re putting in and the yields we expect from dairy. The environment can’t sustain it forever and it’s a strange thing to rely on for export given our location…
