The Function of TRIZ on Pasture to Acheive Ideality
Within the discipline of The
Elysian Fields and Pasture Project systems pasture utilization, we often times choose to
apply TRIZ and ASIT techniques in an effort to change the farm super system
dynamics significantly by removing as much of permanent conventional
systems as we can in a given situation so that we can take full advantage of
the “Closed World” of the pasture system; by doing so, we tend also to remove
most all that was associated and problematic with that prior (conventional)
type system (including fixed and variable costs) in an attempt to achieve (pasture based)
ideality. Paradoxically, the more restricted and confined we are in our “Closed
World” condition, the more creative will be our solutions.

Innovative Solutions Approach to help you
Throughout years of discovery A H Tuttle and Company has historically utilized various common concepts in our Innovative - Research and Development. At one time in the early nineteen-eighties our (BLUESHIFT INSTRUMENTS © Division) innovative approach to a challenge involving Dairy Personnel and Dairy Automation interaction was to include within the ultimate solution the standardization of the input elements held by the various dairy animal udder types themselves; in effect we changed “Variable” animal udder types into “Standard” animal udder types by invoking an applied interface device between animal and the dairy automatic (milking) machine. We introduced a device affixed to (worn by) the dairy cows as an extension of themselves and their mammary system. This same low-tech, low-cost device acted also as an extension of the machine in a sense, by virtue of its standardized design, every “Variable” dairy cow wearing our device now “Looked” like a standard dairy cow to the automated machine process. A faster, cleaner milking routine ensued; a dynamic feat seldom achieved even today by the very best of the dairy automation industry and at the same time at a very low cost.
Similar
to the above (Clear Choice © -
Elysian ©) type solutions
are offered to a very unique minimal tillage plow device (Yeomans Brand Plow) and techniques we and
many of our clients utilize on pastures to achieve an effect referred to as "Absorption Fertility" and in many applications low cost irrigation effects as well. An accessory attachment to this stated
plow device offered a dynamic yet very low-tech, low-cost solution for planting
various seed types within a sod furrow; traditionally a difficult – sometimes
relatively competitive environment for seedlings to become established. The
particular problems observed also included ill regularities in the planted flow
rate of these same seed types by the existing low-cost, low-tech solution attachment
device. Without throwing additional technology and cost into the tillage device
accessory attachment mechanism, we chose to “standardize” the input element, the
seed itself, into a rounded pellet that offered additional growth controls and
attributes far beyond the seed alone while solving for the variable planting flow
rate.
We
introduce and teach these (TRIZ)
concepts to our various clients currently in a mentoring format. The basics are simple to
illuminate – easy to apply and use, and they offer foundations for long term use.
If you
are interested in unearthing these types solution methods, simply contact us
and let us know what problem(s), be they pastoral and cropping or other - we
can help you solve today.
Thank you in advance.
Be safe. Sincerely,

Clear Choice - "Keypoint Solutions" and "Absorption Fertility"
As
a longtime developer of grazing properties, (and judging by the volume of this
years’ inquiries) I can think of no better challenge than the 2012 pervasive
drought conditions contrasted with other various “high moisture” weather events for demonstrating
the long-term attributes of the Yeomans Brand non-inversion pasture plow and
Clear Choice - “Keypoint Solutions” systems in general to increase available
forages utilization of “Absorption Fertility” on pastures and range lands in a wide range of conditions.
By
virtue of its rich history, it’s no secret that narrow shank plow incisions via
pattern cultivation in sod can provide grazing enhancement as measured in increases
of available forages in both wet and dry years by virtue of better managed
water resources; these techniques have been well-documented for over 100 years
and very probably for 200 years or more.
The
historical limiting factors in the early history of any in ground tillage
device is always governed by ability to transfer available horsepower. With the development in
England and elsewhere in Europe and America beginning (as late as) in the late
1800s , narrow shank – non-inversion plow devices (such as the “Ransomes, Sims
and Jefferies” CIC Plow shown above); many farming user – authors of the past era
devoted whole written chapters in well publicized books on the subject and it’s
remarkable observed (horsepower efficient) effects on Soil Organic Matter
resulting in increased “Absorption Fertility”.
