Abstract
Is converting CRP to silvopasture right for you?
Silvopasture combines forage, grazing, and trees on the same acre. Silvopasture produces quality timber while also providing shorter-term cash flow from livestock and forage production. The benefits of silvopasture on expired CRP land in particular are protecting the land from erosion by maintaining tree and grass cover, improving water quality by reducing and filtering runoff, and enhancing recreational opportunities by maintaining habitat and landscape diversity.
