Despite its wide use, there can still be hesitation by landowners to allow cattle on crop ground out of a fear they will hurt the subsequent yield. Research from the Univer - sity of Nebraska-Lincoln demonstrates that with correct stocking rates, residue grazing provides several soil and crop benefits and minimal downsides.
