Too few people recognize grazing land as destroyed. Very often it used to be bog, forest, grassland supporting many wild species (before the soil was pumped full of nitrates) etc. A big grassy field can be an ecological wasteland.
- chrisco255 7y agoGrazing is one of the healthiest things for soil and grassland as long as it's not overgrazed.

Take hay cuts for a few years and you can restore it though. https://twitter.com/collbradan/status/1166416101997273089 https://twitter.com/collbradan/status/1166416101997273089
