The latest episode of the ASI Research Update Podcast features Dr. Alan Franzluebbers, soil scientist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, discussing how soil health and grazing management impact pasture productivity, forage resilience and long-term sustainability. Joining host Jake Thorne, Dr. Franzluebbers explains the role of soil organic matter, nutrient cycling and biological activity, while also addressing rotational grazing, soil compaction and integrated crop-livestock systems. The episode also explores opportunities in solar grazing and practical ways sheep producers can evaluate and improve pasture performance over time.
