Controlling buckthorn with hogs
I found this story about an application of silvopasture to both use the pasture of the woods, but to do so and deliberately control undesired vegetation....the plant we love to hate Rhamnus cathartica (European buckthorn). This farmer is aware of the concerns of silvopasture, potential for compaction and damage to residual trees, but also alert to the value that it brings. The story is about a farmer in Princeton, MN (and I was initially thinking Princeton, NJ..silly me)
