Cross Section View of the Modern 
Windbreak and Shelterbelt 
This cross section view shows the importance 
of planting your windbreak as suggested by 
the plan at the left. 
The two rows at the left are the snow catch. 
They hold back the snow while the other eight 
rows stop the cold wind. With the inside four 
rows of evergreens the cold winds just can't 
get through. The result is your farm buildings 
and stock are comfortable because they are 
protected.

Minnesota Standard 
Windbreaks Stop the Wind 
The windbreaks recommended by 
LAND O’ LAKES are based on the 
standard recommendations of the 
University of Minnesota Extension 
Service. 
Illustrated at the middle left is a 
suggested windbreak layout which 
can be modified to meet your own 
requirements. 
It is a proven fact that feed is 
saved and production is higher where 
windbreaks are planted effectively 
about the farm buildings. This is as 
true in the house as in the barn. 
Additional savings are had in low- 
ered fuel costs for the house. 
LAND O’ LAKES has instituted other 
improvements in dairy production 
operation such as artificial insemina- 
tion; using high quality bulls. Heifers 
from this breeding cannot be ex- 
pected to show their stuff unless they 
are given the best conditions pos- 
sible. Mediocre care will only give 
mediocre production from the best of 
animals. 
To throw the throttle open far 
enough to get the most efficient pro- 
duction, a good windbreak is as 
essential as a good barn or a good 
ration. In fact, a good windbreak 
will make a saving in the pounds of 
feed fed to produce 100 pounds of 
milk and allow the use of less costly 
buildings.

from the farm buildings. 
Recommended Spacing and Arrangement 
The recommended spacing is to plant 2 rows of Chinese Elm, Laurel Leaf 
Willow or Golden Willow on the outside to form a snowbreak. Plant 4 feet 
apart in the row and 8 feet between rows. 
Leave 60 feet for a snow trap, then plant 4 rows of Green Ash, Chinese 
Elm, American Elm, Norway Poplar, or Soft Maple spaced 6 feet apart in 
Inside, plant 4 rows of evergreens 8 to 10 feet apart in the row and 
The inside row of evergreens should be 100 feet 
This space and the snow trap give ample space 
to drop the snow and leave the buildings and yards free from drifts. 
For solid wocdlot plantings, set trees 8 to 9 feet apart each way. Ash, 
Elm, Norway Poplar, and Black Walnut are especially recommended for 
woodlot planting.
