“We Have Mongoose Pressure” – Silvopasture Farmer-to-Farmer Interviews
Several years ago, the Savanna Institute received grant funding for a silvopasture establishment study, working with four Midwest farms to compare different methods of protecting newly planted trees from livestock. What they found is that maybe it’s better to wait a few years before letting livestock anywhere near your trees! But in addition to the research project, the farmer partners were also asked to record themselves interviewing more experienced silvopasture farmers for use in a Savanna Institute podcast that – at the time – didn’t exist yet.
