Notes:
In the rehabilitation of land disturbed by opencast coal workings, the place of grass and clover is an important one, and is two-fold. In the first place, the sward is of value as a soil improver, and, secondly, under the right conditions, grassland can contribute substantially to the economic farming of this land. In Yorkshire, we feel that both these factors can operate so that well-farmed grassland can improve the physical condition of the soil, and, at the same time give the farmer, when his land is returned to him, a reasonable profit in retum for his endeavours and extra financial outlay.
