Knowledge and information in agriculture is a mix of research, application, and experience that is never from a single individual, but rather a collective experience shared in the minds of many. We all benefit from sharing our experience.
A new book on the Agroforestry practice of Silvopasture, by Steve Gabriel, has the explicit goal of telling the story of what we know - and don’t know – about the concept of integrating livestock production with trees and forestry.
The book…

One of the top "frequently asked questions" is what forages might grow well in silvopastures. Much has already been posted on this forum (dig around a bit) on this topic. The short answer is: "it depends", and "more research is needed". But fortunately, many cool-season forages - particularly grasses, can do quite well in lightly-shaded silvopasture conditions.
