Windbreaks are single to multiple rows of trees and/or shrubs planted in a linear fashion. The windbreak renovation conservation practice is the replacement, or removal of selected trees, shrubs, or rows within an existing windbreak. This video explores how Frank and Jaci Mills implemented this conservation practice on their farm in Crawford, Nebraska.
Major benefits of this practice include:
• Reduces wind erosion
• Improves water quality
• Provides shelter for livestock and wildlife
• Improves plant diversity and quality
• Enhances wildlife habitat
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
