It was very informative to know that horses can free up nutrients to the water stream because they have a direct access to it with the help of an installed fence. I have a rest house near a water stream and there are a lot of horses in the area. Since I'm planning on farming near my house, I'll make sure to have farm fences installed by qualified professionals.
The millions o dollars being being spent on cover crops should go into paying 100% of the cost to fence ALL streams from livestock and install grass buffers on ALL cropland fields where runoff exits the fields!
Thank you!
