Summary
COI synopsis: Sometimes we waste the resources we have around us, simply because we go about things the wrong way. Renewing green pasture has always meant clearing the field of cattle and letting it lie idle till the new pasture appeared. The latest method allows pasture to be renewed without completely ploughing up the old grass and turfing out the cows.
