"Nature, left alone, is in perfect balance.
Harmful insects and plant diseases are always present,
but do not occur in nature to an extent which requires the use of
poisonous chemicals.
The sensible approach to disease and insect control is to grow sturdy
crops in a healthy environment."

Masanobu Fukuoka, One Straw Revolution--1978

In a perfect world. We happen to live in an imperfect world.

Wolves, coyotes, bears and eagles have killed my beef calves this spring.
Wolves ate the
tail and butt off a 2 year old steer yesterday. He's still alive, but I'm
headed down to the
grazing lease to kill him as soon as it gets light. (Just got the call.
Another cowboy found
him and because he's too hip to carry a weapon, didn't kill the steer for me.)

You can admire nature from afar. The day you watch wolves eat the guts out
of a moose
calf while it's still alive, check back with me.
