ASGA Call #54 Replay: June 1st, Cornell Solar Sheep Update with Pollinator and Vegetation Experts
The folks from Cornell are back with the latest updates on their ongoing solar grazing research project. Professors John Losey, an insect scientist, and Antonio DiTommaso, a weed scientist, led us through the latest results of research on solar grazing, with a particular focus on grazing’s impacts on pollinators and vegetation.
They had some exciting new findings and insights to share with us. The presentation was followed by a Q&A.
Hosts: Kevin Richardson (ASGA), your ASGA Outreach Coordinator, and Warren Sakey, the Renewable Development Manager at Invenergy and an ASGA Advisory Board Member.
