    Silvopasture: Establishment and Management Principles for Minnesota
    (2017) Zamora, Diomy; Wyatt, Gary; Buttler, Megan; Ford, Maggie; Magner, Joe; Reichenbach, Mike; Burkett, Eleanor; Current, Dean; Walter, Dusty
    As an agroforestry practice, Silvopasture intentionally integrates livestock, forage production, and trees into an intensively managed system. The forage, trees, and livestock in silvopasture complement one another to increase productivity. The practice of silvopasture provides annual income from livestock (e.g., meat, dairy products) while fostering long-term economic benefits from trees including timber, fence posts, firewood, fruit, and nuts. This guidebook was created to increase awareness of silvopasture in Minnesota.
