Description
A survey of one thousand farms, a daily monitoring on eight farms, and a simulation model of one real farm allow us to identify and measure the essential constraints limiting the dairy production on farms using a large proportion of grass lands. The main constrains are tied to the spatial distribution of the fields and the physical milieu. The study shows possible solutions. In the frame of the research realized by the multidisciplinary team on the agrarian systems and the evolution of the farming systems in Lorraine, we focus our attention on the land division pattern and water control that so much engross the Lorraine farmers.
