Abstract: Integrated crop-livestock systems provide an array of benefits to agricultural systems, including resilience to market fluctuation and optimization of land use. This 3-year study investigated short-term effects of cropping system, grazing intensity, and N fertilization, on forage, litter, row crop, and soil and water responses. In this presentation, we will be discussing the potential benefits of adding grazed winter cover crops or a warm-season perennial forage into conventional cropping systems in Southeastern USA.
