PLANNING THE WINDBREAK 
The location of your windbreak will de- 
pend on the direction of prevailing cold or 
hot winds; normal snow-fall; buildings, 
orchards, or crops to be protected. Plant 
at least 3 rows of trees as pictured below, 
being sure to plant far enough from build- 
ings to avoid snowdrifts around the build- 
ings. The inside rows, nearest the build- 
ings, should be 12 ft. apart, with the trees 
12 ft. apart in the rows. The outside row 
should be 20 ft. from the inside row, with 
trees 20 ft. apart in row. For Evergreen 
windbreak, plant 2 rows 20 ft. apart, 
trees 20 ft. apart in row. Outside row 235 ft. 
from inside rows, trees 25 ft. apart in row.

SHADE TREE SEEDLINGS 
Many farmers say that windbreak for feed lot, barn, 
and poultry house pays for itself in more milk and 
eggs. It will also prevent hot winds from sapping 
moisture from the ground, prevent soil erosion or 
protect yard, or lane from snow, making them easier 
to keep clear in winter. Wards ship well-rooted 
trees. Plant spring or fall except as indicated.
