The U.S. Supreme Court recently delivered a ruling that limits the EPA’s authority to regulate certain bodies of water under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and provides a clearer definition for Waters of the United States (WOTUS), as part of their decision on landmark case Sackett v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A team of researchers at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is completing a 10-year study on how grazing management practices used in rotational grazing systems and continuous grazing systems affect cattle foraging behavior, diet quality and yearly weight gain in semiarid, extensive rangeland.

Silvopasture is a practice that integrates livestock, forage production and forestry on the same land management unit. It has the potential to be a great fit for producers looking to up their grazing game and add a revenue stream.

Over the next few years as the cattle herd builds back, cull cow prices and all beef prices will rise as the U.S. cycles into tighter supplies, giving more market leverage to the producer.
