Green Farmstead Partner Workshop

Putting Down Roots on Your Livestock Farm

Join us at Frazier Nursery to learn about the benefits of planting trees on livestock farms. The event will highlight windbreak design considerations and feature tours of the nursery as well as an expert panel who will share tips on planting trees around livestock barns and feedlots.

About the Green Farmstead Partner Program

The Green Farmstead Partner program was created by farmers to help farmers who are interested in establishing windbreaks. It is offered by the Coalition to Support Iowa’s Farmers with the help of Trees Forever and the Iowa Nursery and Landscape Association.

This unique initiative provides information on tree and shrub plantings for livestock farms and offers the expertise of nineteen nursery professionals around the state. In other words, it is here to help you determine what you want from a tree planting, figure out how to accomplish it and get it in the ground and growing.

All livestock farmers are eligible for the program, whether you are in the initial planning stages of building a livestock barn or have raised livestock for years. Or, if you already have an existing grove in need of an upgrade, we can help revitalize it to maximize the overall effectiveness.
