There’s a significant difference in family farms vs commercial farms.
Discussion
You think family farms in the 50s-70s were not using tons (literally) of DDT and other really awful stuff?
Healthy land is readily obvious.
Just pointing out the path I took and have enjoyed. Not here to convince.
It's a good path, for sure, but I cannot agree with the readily obvious part. Not a half a mile from here, a couple effectively lost their life's savings when they bought a farm that they later found out is stupidly high in PFAS, and consequently, can't graze cattle like they planned.
You'd never notice from just looking at it.
