		Now, many aspects of this experiment were studied but the one relevant to my theme has to do with the quality of the milk produced by the cows.
		The point is that the white cell count of the cows involved in the Haughley Experiment were so much less than what was considered the threshold for normal dairy cows, it is almost incredible.
		In the milk of the cows of the Haughley Experiment, their average white cell count was around 12-15,000 per c.c.

	Towards a Sustainable Agriculture - The Living Soil - Eve Balfour
		This classic text on the organic movement is an address given by the late Lady Eve Balfour, author of the organics classic "The Living Soil and the Haughley Experiment", to an IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) conference in Switzerland in 1977.
		It was one of the most important single findings to come out of the experiment, because it was so conclusive and, surprisingly, hitherto unsuspected by orthodox agricultural chemists - namely that the levels of available minerals in the soil fluctuate according to the season, maximum levels coinciding with the time of maximum plant demand.
		At Haughley for example, though the organic herbal leys were of clearly sparser growth than the much lusher mixed-section leys, the cows on the former gave, over a 20 year period, around 15% more milk than the other.

	The Rival Systems
		The source of humus was decomposed crop residues and animal manures, the very materials that factory farming was assiduously burning, or dumping, often in the belief that they were a source of disease.
		When Howard was eventually allowed to experiment with feeding compost-grown crops to cattle, he found that they were resistant to infection by foot and mouth disease, even where infected cattle were allowed to rub noses with those in his feeding trial.
		This work was published in Balfour's book, "The Haughley Experiment" which these days is printed as a single volume with her earlier book, "The Living Soil".
