Green Farmstead Partner Program


Studies show the environment is important to farmers. After all, they live on the land they farm. The Green Farmstead Partner program, a partnership between CSIF, Trees Forever and the Iowa Nursery and Landscape Association, provides information and cost-effective assistance to farmers wanting to plant trees and shrubs around new and existing cattle feedlots, hog barns and poultry buildings. This program promotes the planning and installation of vegetative environmental buffers (VEBs) to help improve water and soil quality, reduce objectionable odors, and provide a windbreak for livestock and farm families.
