Join Justin Morris, Regional Soil Health Specialist with the NRCS, for an in-depth exploration of the benefits and challenges of grazing cropland and permanent grasslands. This engaging webinar breaks down the principles of adaptive grazing management and highlights how thoughtful grazing strategies can enhance soil function, improve water infiltration, and optimize animal performance. Drawing from research across multiple states and real-world examples, the module provides insights into nutrient cycling, root biomass development, and biodiversity gains, while also addressing common hurdles like infrastructure, herd management, and landowner coordination. Whether you're a producer, conservation planner, or land manager, this session will equip you with practical knowledge to implement grazing as a regenerative tool for both cropland and grassland systems.
Integrating grazing into cropland and grassland systems can do more than feed livestock—it can regenerate soil, cycle nutrients, improve water infiltration, and build a more resilient farming operation. In this engaging and informative webinar, NRCS Soil Health Specialist Justin Morris shares the science and strategy behind successful grazing management. Learn about the benefits and challenges of grazing cropland and permanent grasslands, the biological and economic advantages of adaptive grazing, and how thoughtful livestock integration can transform soil function and farm productivity. Backed by real-world research from across the U.S., this session explores how grazing can increase microbial activity, improve root systems, and support a thriving ecosystem above and below ground. Whether you're a producer, land manager, or conservation professional, this webinar offers actionable insights to help you implement grazing systems that work for your land and your livestock.
