1. Cow and chicken manure used to be common fertilizer
before this current reliance on petrochemicals. Cow and chicken manure is now treated as waste due to the current farm practices where livestock is hoarded into small pens and not given room to graze. These increases in chemical prices will, I hope, push farmers back to the old-fashioned sustainable way of farming.
