This week’s featured video highlights the work of a member of the Panhandle Ag Extension Team. Cheryl Mackowiak, UF/IFAS Forage Soil Scientist, and her research team have been evaluating different methods that can be used to minimize nitrate leaching from crop fields. They have proven that cool-season cover crops reduce nitrate leaching from crop fields, but found even greater benefit when animals grazed on the cover crops. Dr. Mackowiak’s work demonstrates that incorporating livestock grazing into a cropping system increases the productivity of the land and protects the environment at the same time.
