Forest Planting Stock Shortage Hits Missouri Farmers
Forest planting stock for wind break and woodlot planting is rapidly going to buyers in Missouri. Red cedar and green ash supplies are exhausted and no further orders will be accepted, while Black Bocust Hardy Catalpa Black Walnut Osage Shortleaf Pine and Ponderosa Pine remain available in limited quantities. The rise in forestry tree demand aligns with the Agricultural Conservation Program soil building goals, offering 5 units or 7.50 for meeting planting targets. A $30 bonus or 20 planting units can be earned per farm for forestry tree planting. Orders should go to the County Agent as supplies dwindle.
