Silvopastoral Agroforestry Practices for Small Farm Management
User Rating: 4 / 5
The financial potential and environmental impact of agroforestry practices are being evaluated on approximately 300 acres of land at the Hill Farm Research Station, Homer, LA. Currently, the land base is comprised of loblolly pine silvopastures, loblolly pine plantations, and open-pastures.
Long-term objectives are to determine the potential for annual timber harvests and for maintaining livestock ownership through a timber production cycle. Intermediate objectives are to determine the impact of the interactive competition between the tree and forage crops on timber and livestock productivity.
