Silvopasture in the Northeast Farmer Panel (March 22, 2024)
Silvopasture (grazing livestock with trees) systems are complex, dynamic and site specific. The practice is both rooted in indigenous land stewardship and its benefits are well documented by scientific literature. Adoption by farmers and land stewards of silvopasture is growing in interest.
With support from the USDA National Agroforestry Center (NAC), a collaboration of Regenerative Design Group, Wellspring Forest Farm, and Inhabit Films completed a project to highlight innovative examples of silvopasture systems in the Northeastern USA.
The project began with an inventory of self-identified silvopasture practitioners and resulted in nine case study videos of a wide range of farms utiliz...

In operation since 1984, Sweet Sourland Farms-a small-scale maple syrup, lumber, and heritage sheep farm in central NJ- began integrating livestock and woodlot managment over a decade ago. Initially, meat goats were employed in land clearing and invasive species managment after a pine timber harvest. Today, Barbados Blackbelly sheep rotate through the woodlot, keeping invasives in check and cle...

Forks Farm is a diversified livestock operation in Northeast PA that uses a silvopasture system primarily for the farm’s hogs. The system takes advantage of the open sunny conditions initially created from thinning-and more recently from ash mortality-to support forage.

      this? if you mean Black locust, it is not toxic unless animals are not used to self regulating forages (i.e. get a ration) and then can over-eat it.

    • @jesserahimzadeh4298
      @jesserahimzadeh4298 2 дня назад

      There is no definitive answer and it will be mostly based on observation. The fewer pigs per paddock, the more time you can leave them. If you leave them too long you'll have a compacted moonscape.

    I raise American blackbelly sheep, and they are an incredible breed. Like you have described, they are nearly bulletproof. I heard of one experienced rancher who lost 5 out of 12 sheep (he didn't specify the breed) on a single day. I have raised hundreds of blackbelly sheep, and I think I can count on one hand the number I have lost due to illness of any kind (including parasites). Plus, their meat is the best I've ever tasted. I may be a bit biased, since they're my own animals, but I don't think so; it's just incredible meat. Lastly, they're so beautiful. Seeing them out on the pasture never gets old (I'm in my 8th year raising them).

    • @Theorimlig
      @Theorimlig 2 месяца назад

      They definitely will, the branches should be out of reach. Some protection against rubbing and bark stripping should probably be in place. I don't think they'll seriously hurt older established trees much though.

    Are other species of trees considered in these situations? I know many species can be used directly as fodder by pollarding and controlled harvest of the leaves. What about nuts like chestnut (although the spiny casings would be a deterrent)?

    Question - I am doing silvopasture with sheep in NW Alabama and the problem I run into is the volume of leaves in the fall that don't allow for good grass growth. You seem to have no problem at all and have many more trees than I do. How are you keeping the leaves from smothering out your grass? thanks.

    • @quailjailss

    • @charlizekatzenbach5011
      @charlizekatzenbach5011 7 месяцев назад

      The leaves seem to compost enough for the invasive to come back up in the spring. They are not the "normal" grasses that are in our more open pastures.which may be why the damp forest is best for them.
