[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1825969, member: 40335"] I know this sounds pretty trivial and in a roundabout way would only make a miner dent. But you take a 10 acre hay field and cut hay off of it continuously for a number of years. Deplete it of its nutrients it takes to grow hay. Most farmers periodically replace those nutrients in some way. But even those depleted get redeposited some where else in someway. Some turned into mature after being fed to a cow. Then those nutrients the cow converted some of those nutrients to meat, that is then converted to manure by whatever eats it. But all & all those nutrients needed for that hay field to grow grass for the most part stay on the continent where they come from except for those exported to another continent in the form of a food is one way. Then you take other forms of agriculture products like the hay being shipped ? [/QUOTE]
