Windbreak improvements urged for shelter and snow control
Extension notes windbreak effectiveness wanes as older broadleaf trees age and buildings intrude. A strong windbreak should snag snow, with 100 feet space to buildings. Add rows of red cedar or shrubs on north or west, prune older trees, and replant for denser winter foliage. Clarke McNary trees available through Extension. 4 H New Ideas Leader Training set for February 16.
