10 0 ReplyThat's like saying "you can just not go to war"
Yea great you solved war forever.

daily reminder that most of the land that is used to grow livestock feed is land that is not fertile enough to grow things like wheat but can still grow things like grass
9 0 ReplyYes, you are right, for pastures. The category Lifestock feed is soybean, corn, wheat, barley and triticale, all that goes into the stomachs of monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, ... humans).
