#31 Designing, planting and managing a silvopasture system with Brett Chedzoy
Listen now
Description
We have the pleasure of welcoming back Brett Chedzoy on the podcast. While last time we dedicated much of the conversation to transforming woods into a productive silvopasture, this time we focus on planting trees into pasture. We go into a lot of depth into the design of such plantations as well as their management implications. We conclude the interview by discussing his way of using coniferous plantations to shelter his herd from extreme winter storms and how that is saving him from building expensive infrastructure.   TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:01:46 Introduction  00:07:08 Why bring trees into pasture and which ones 00:21:21 Design process 00.44:20 How do we combine high quality forestry with silvopasture?  00:51:06 What simple systems for easy adoption by livestock farmers?  01:00:25 Implementation and management  01:29:10 When to reintroduce animals into the plantation?  01:35:39 Living barns   • RESOURCES https://silvopasture.ning.com/ https://sites.google.com/site/theangusglenfarm/home • GET IN TOUCH www.regenerativeagroforestry.org • SUPPORT US www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry • FOLLOW US on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
