This project aims to demonstrate an innovative brush control method that will inform adaptive grazing management decisions and improve soil health. After treating pastures with this method, the teamwill evaluate forage production increases, soil health effects, grazing management decisions during the entire duration of the project. These directly and easily quantifiable measures will be reported on a per-pasture basis.
