The late Allen Nation wrote approximately this thought in his Stockman Grass Farmer paper some years ago:
"It is in the nature of grass to stay in one place. And it is in the nature of cows to move around. But we have fastened the cow into confinement and are spending much time and money making the grass move to the cow".
When all costs are accounted for-economic, human, damage to the earth-and we finally learn to ask about net progress, the huge confinement dairy factories that surround me will have to answer to Nation's simple truth.
