I have heard of a grass fed cattle farm in Texas.
I hope more farmers are able to change to that way of farming.
There is a big battle now for farming.
Hopefully, the natural use of the land can gain control again; learn from our mistakes with pesticides, etc.
We have to start over; hopefully before it's too late. Innocent people are being put in jail.
Why has greed for money corrupted the modern farm industry?
I don't understand why we can't keep things simple; the way they used to be.
We are only hurting ourselves as a people, as a nation.

It is not the greed of the small farmers. I know my brother is a farmer and they are not the ones who make the money. It is the large farmers who do plus the middle man. I grew up on a farm, we never used the poisions that the large guys do. Still have range fed beef. and organic grown vegs. and fruits. If you think the smaller farmers are makeing the profit your are wrong. They are slowly being being elemated. Some are even quitting. The cost of fuel and seed is getting out of site.

Grass fed cattle are fine but they do need grain also, particularly the last month or so.
