Episode Synopsis

Is it really true that "Total Grazing doesn't leave residual behind to protect the soil surface from heat or cold"? Some think that the residue protects the soil from erosion caused by water or wind, others think that the residue protects the soil from the sun and high temperatures, and others think that the residue protects the soil from low temperatures. Let's remember what residue or residual is… it is what the cattle DID NOT want to graze… so what is it mainly? So let me ask you a question: what is going to protect the soil better? Sticks and stones or well-covered soil with strong fat roots? What avoids erosion?  Let's bust this myth in today's episode.
