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 Additional Resources To learn more about Austin Unruh and Trees for Graziers, please visit: https://treesforgraziers.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).
