Cottonwood Trees Show Profit Potential for Nebraska
A University of Nebraska experiment at Horning State Farm near Plattsmouth indicates cottonwood trees can be a profitable crop for Nebraska. Non-rooted cuttings grew from pencil size to 35 feet in four years, with 75 percent survival on 0.4 acres. Uses include windbreaks, mulch, pulp, and wildlife plantings, with caution about drought. The December Polk County SWCD board meets December 17 in Osceola.

Trees and Shelterbelts in Nebraska Environment
Trees greatly influence Nebraska ecosystems by reducing wind and erosion, moderating temperatures, conserving moisture, and aiding crops. Shelterbelts, now often narrow rows of conifers or mixed woods, protect farms, homes, and wildlife, while beautifying the landscape and expanding future forestry beyond agronomy. Plan next year’s tree planting with the Soil Conservation Service in Osceola.
