Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Two studies evaluated impact of grazing corn residue during the spring on subsequent soybean yields in a corn-soybean rotation. Each study was conducted for two consecutive years. Tillage treatments consisting of ridge-till, fall till, spring-till, and no-till were also evaluated to determine if yields could be maintained by alleviating compaction from grazing in the spring. No significant differences in yield with tillage treatment and grazing were observed. Grazing treatments overall increased soybean yields in both studies. In the second study only a depression in subsequent corn yield was noted with spring grazing at stocking rate of .32 acres/calf for 60 …

Nebraska Beef Cattle Reports
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of transgenic corn hybrids for residue grazing. In Experiment 1 two irrigated corn fields were used after grain harvest, one Roundup Ready® and it’s non-transgenic control line to evaluate grazing performance. This experiment was terminated after 35 days due to excessive snow cover. There was no significant difference in performance in Experiment 1. Experiment 2 was conducted the following year using dryland corn. In Experiment 2 corn root worm protected variety (Bt), Roundup Ready®, and their non-transgenic control line were evaluated. No differences in animal performance were observed between either genetically enhanced …
