Adding livestock to graze crop residue or cover crops enhances soil health. Yet many farmers are reluctant to add livestock because they think it is too hard. When Lucinda Stuenkel's husband and his farm partner/brother died young in a vehicle accident nine years ago, she needed to learn about raising cattle and crops including extensive cover crops which are often grazed. Lucinda learned (and continues to learn) innovative methods that can help her farm with less effort and fewer expenses. She will discuss her strategies for consecutive cover crops throughout the year, and when and how to graze the livestock.
