Creating a silvopasture by adding trees to the pasture
An interesting story about a livestock farmer who is adding trees to the pasture. He has focused on creating swales and establishing fruit trees. The farm is based in Bloomington, IN. The story (see the link) has some nice photos and diagrams of the design.
The author mentions films by Geoff Lawton, but I have not seen these.
