Austin Unruh founded Trees for Graziers to help
farmers establish trees in pastures on a large scale. Austin has
worked on over 400 acres for 25 different working farms. Getting
trees planted at a large scale and an affordable price led to lots
of experimentation to ensure protection and integration into
pasture that was minimally intrusive.
It’s his goal to make silvopasture as easy and cost-effective as
possible for farmers. Trees for Graziers offers everything from
planning, planting, and aftercare to growing silvo-specific nursery
stock.
In this episode, Austin and John discuss:
- The importance of integrating trees into pasture
-
How to protect young trees from rodent damage
-
The many benefits that trees provide
-
Tree species that have the greatest opportunities in silvopasture
-
How to best match tree characteristics to farm goals
