    There are lots of great farmers and ranchers that are moving to regenerative grazing. Check out "Roots So Deep" and others. Problem is, those healthy and natural systems won't make the agri chemical companies any money....

    A few trees sown amid the rushes will improve drainage at the expense of most of the rushes. Trees need tree guards in early years or animals will eat them or break them.

    re: Dock control. As mentioned docks in permanent grazed pasture do contribute positively to the diet of grazing livestock, but again as was said, their presence is a symptom of soil compaction etc Just like to share a fellow "Pasture for Life" farmer friend of mine, encourage & introduced the proliferation of native "Green Dock Beetle" (Gastrophysa viridula) as a form of dock bio-control. I believe at one point had an University undergrad student monitoring the beetles effectiveness, in reducing docks. From my own personal observations (during one of his farm walks), one area of docks had a "lace like" appearance from being munched by the said beetle.
