Abstract
This presentation will review some basic landscape design principles, plant material selection, and benefits of landscaped windbreaks/vegetative barriers for your farmstead from a previous talk at the 2008 Cornbelt Cow/Calf Conference. This talk will also delve further into the aesthetic and living quality issues; with the addition of enhanced air quality improvement by planting a landscaped vegetative buffer on a farmstead or animal confinement area. There will be illustrations and examples for each topic.
