The hole in that argument is cattle or other ruminant animals can produce protein and fat off of grasslands that are unsuitable for grain production. I worked on a Dairy in NW Oklahoma after I got out of college. They had several 1/4 sections that they ran "range" cattle on (read Beef). In some instances these 1/4s were farmed until the dustbowl of the 30's and haven't been worth tilling since. Since the family I worked for also did about 2200 acres of wheat I assume if these 1/4s were worth putting wheat on they would of. Additionally they ran cattle on wheatgrass through the winter, meaning they ran cattle on the planted wheat removing the cattle in the late winter early spring to allowing the wheat to mature for grain harvest, some of the poorer wheat or stuff that was overgrazed got baled for hay. Remember people don't do well on hay and hay is sustainable on land that is marginal or unsuitable for cereal or feed grain production. When we try to grow grain on unsuitable ground we get results like Oklahoma in the 30's- destroying the land's ability to feed us.
