If we have lived for long enough around ranches/farms, and are observant of what is happening around us AND have listened to old cattlemen or ranchers, you can relate to what I am going to tell you.

First, let us picture how the land must have looked like and produced when the first white men came to America.

We can find historical records of the abundance of game and the rich deep soils that they encountered.

We can also read how the wildlife became depleted and how the soils and grasslands have degraded since then.

Why has this happened?
