Tree Plantings Boost South Dakota Livestock Industry
South Dakota, famed for livestock production, could ease winter feed shortages through tree protection. A 1936 Forest Service survey of 297 eastern farms showed protectant yards cut feed needs by 10 to 30 percent and saved about $359 per farm in winter feed costs. The piece argues for expanding tree plantations on farms to reduce feed requirements and protect livestock during severe droughts. It also notes barley market dynamics and soil and water retention findings from a New York experiment, emphasizing quality grain and climate suitability.
