How many managers test their soil every year? How many know that growing soil fertility is the key to successful farming?
It is possible to grow soil and know how successful you have been by observing the success of your pasture recovery. The faster the greenery grows the more fertile the soil. Plants will not grow optimally without optimal management. That requires knowing how to replicate the eco-system that existed long before the farmer. And that is easy if one reads about the successful managers, understands why they succeed.
Chemical company reps are successful at selling chemicals, not farming. They focus on selling only, not farming. They will promise anything, guarantee nothing. The more the farmer fails, the more they recommend chemicals. The more the farmer succeeds the more they recommend chemicals. They are focussed on their success, not the farmer. Taking advice about farming from a chemical salesperson is like asking a politician for an ethics lesson.
