Australian beef weighed by live weight debated

Manure Boosts Crop Feeding Value in Trials
Farmers see higher feeding value from manured land as trials show timothy and hay with greater albuminoids and lower fibre when grown on richer soil. Digestibility rises with reduced fibre and darker green forage, indicating more plant protoplasm and chlorophyll activity and better nutrient availability in crops. Continuous soil nourishment yields superior crops.
