often in the winter months i'm searching around for examples and things to read about soils and how to restore distressed fields.
to me the whole process is facinating, but fueled by simple principles. grow something as you get any chance. keep animals from grazing until it is somewhat established and provide some rest periods that are closer to mimicking what natural grazing would do...
it works. the above example happened during a time of relative drought.
and the good thing i'm seeing here or there is that there are some people using rotational grazing for cattle around here. as more people see it and learn about it the chances for improvement continue.
the various case studies provided on the above website are good reads for winter too.
