which soil is better scientifically -- pastured or mowed
I am wondering if at least one of the 50 state ag schools ever
made a scientific study of which is the best soil? A plot of land has two options let us say. One option is to pasture some animals, not overpasturing but allowing the grass to grow faster than the animals can eat it. So it has a minimum pasturing and it requires some mowing since the animals cannot eat it all. I don't mean a pasture where it is turned into dirt. The second plot has no pasturing animals but is mowed frequently. Here the mowed clippings help the soil in nutrients and fertilizer. So my question is this. Which soil is the premium soil? Which behaviour makes for the maximum soil? I am guessing it is the animal minimal pasturing for something about grass going through an animals body and the urine is better than mowed grass clippings. So has any Ag College of these United States done a proper science analysis and experiment on this question and come up with actual numbers data? I would guess no, but am hopefull that my question will spur someone to do the experiment.
