I just watched a short documentary on how some American farmers have switched to using absolutely no fertilizer on their land for their cows. It seems farmers are slow to go back to how farming once was - letting mother nature do all the work. Yeah, farmers seem to be rejecting the notion that mother nature can do a better job than chemical fertilizers.
Where I grew up, there were Black Angus and Herefords being raised all around me. Not once did I ever catch any of the farmers fertilizing their pasture lands. Fertilizer was reserved for small homestead garden plots and tobacco fields (tobacco is nitrogen hungry) and corn fields, never pasture lands. They let the cattle fertilize the pastures as they grazed.

Yep we never fertilized cow pastures but rotated the herd to a different pasture. During the winter we bought hay if needed depending on the size of the herd and available grazing.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
