Not being a Farmer I'm not 100% sure but I think we need to split up
how a feed is used.

ie

Ploughed Field, Changed Every Year.
Grass for grazing animals
Orchard, permanent or semi-permanent trees/bushes

While some farmers may rotate there land, partally with Orchards this
is not as likely as with grassland and ploughed Fields

Just my 2pence worth.

Peter.
