Its true that many products and practices widely adopted over the past 100 years intended to solve a problem have created new problems, sometimes more challenging than the ones they were designed to conquer.

Intensity Intensity includes both stock density (pounds of animal per acre during an individual grazing event) and the degree of forage utilization. If we consistently utilize greater than 70% of the above ground plant biomass because we feel we need to so we are not wasting feed, we will have a negative influence on preferred forage species.
