University of Illinois agronomists warn no single nutrient sustains high corn harvests. Nitrogen alone yields far less than balanced mixes of lime, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash, with phosphate or potash alone delivering modest gains.

Grass feeding is seen as the natural method to grow cattle with an emphasis on managed grazing, hay or silage, and a year round forage supply. Cattle convert forage efficiently when ranges are managed well, with selective grazing and diverse pasture growth to sustain long grazing periods.
