Cover Crop Grazing

Video: Cover Crop Grazing

The Living Lab–Ontario Cover Crop Grazing project is testing how livestock and cover crops can work together to build healthier soils. By comparing grazed and ungrazed cover crops on a diversified farm, researchers and farmers are measuring soil health, compaction, and crop performance. The goal is to uncover practical ways to extend grazing seasons, add value to crop rotations, and create more resilient soils for the next generation of farmers.
