Trees and shrubs planted as windbreaks can boost agricultural production, reduce soil erosion, and provide environmental and other benefits. The information farmers really need is how windbreaks can make their particular enterprises more profitable and sustainable, and what form these windbreaks should take.
This guide draws on the National Windbreaks Program findings and subsequent research to explain how windbreaks work, their effects on productivity, and how to design and maintain an effective windbreak system.
