The reason for the long recovery is reestablishing the soil. Because nothing grows and the crops are harvested, no organic material is put back in the ground to break down to make soil. Soil is not dirt. The fields are not fertile to grow anything but with fertilizers.

What you’re saying about fertilizer is correct. Not using glyphosate doesn’t stop farmers from continuing to use fertilizers.
And, I agree it would be preferable to rebuild the soil. Unfortunately farmers have been steered into these practices by none other than the USDA.
