Today @NDSUansc and @NDSU_SNRS M.S. student Josh Wianecki provided an updated on our @NDSoybean project evaluating rye management with grazing in a soybean production system during the livestock tour at the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center field day.

M.S. student, Josh Wianecki shared about his research managing rye with grazing in a soybean production system. He is evaluating soil health, crop production, livestock performance and economics of 1) spring and fall grazing, 2) spring grazing, 3) ungrazed rye and 4) no rye.

Dr. Zac Carlson and Dr. Miranda Meehan discussed virtual fence technology and how it can be used to manage grazing livestock. We are currently using this technology to implement a patch grazing system at the Central Grassland Research Extension Center.
