Bruce Davison talks about the importance of building up nutrients in the soil.
Mineral plants take 95% of nutrients from the atmosphere and 5% from the soil. These plants are highly digestible, they do a very good job when the animals eat them. African lovegrass, a fuel plant, however takes 99% from the atmosphere and takes only 1% from the soil.

Heidi & Bruce Davison explain how they run their farm up rather than run it down.
You attract the animals up the landscape with water and feed so nutrients get left on the high ground.
That’s moving the farm on the right direction.
