Grazing Animals vs. 6rops Grazing animals can sometimes Jump a fence from the pasture to the corn or grain field to forage for better food, says the Middle West Soil Improvement committee, but growing crops have to stay where they are and either thrive or starve, depending on the fertility level of the soil. Hence it is necessary for the farmer to carry the plant food to the growing crops, the same as he rations his cows with silage or concentrates. His task of aiding both his soil and his crops is being made simple/ by chemical science which is providing nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash at a cost level more in keeping with what the farmer produces than practically any other thing he buys today.
