Healthy soil can mean increased yields (and profits) as well as fewer inputs like fertilizer or pesticides. By properly managing grazing intensity, pastureland can maintain healthy vegetation cover and provide adequate forage for livestock. Overgrazing can deplete the available forage, leading to inadequate nutrition for your animals.
