In what biological system does nature "turn it black"?[/QUOTE
On what planet is nature a better farmer than a farmer? If that were true we should all just lay back on our hind ends and eat what nature provides. Why work at all if nature will do so much better?
Lots of corn, lots of soy beans, and lots of other crops are grown without turning the soil black.
Although, without steel, you’re most likely using petrochemical herbicides to keep the weeds suppressed for long enough that the cash crop can outcompete the weeds
