Book excerpt: Excerpt from Windbreaks in Conservation Farming Windbreak barriers help control soil blowing in clean cultivated fields and cut down the drying effects of wind on soil and plants in areas where they can be grown successfully. In the North trees may also trap snow in winter that crops can use in spring and their branches furnish homes for insect eating birds. The water from melting snow helps build up ground-water supplies. Upland gamebirds and other wildlife use windbreaks for cover, food, nesting, and travel lanes. Planted around buildings and yards, windbreaks protect people, livestock, and the farmyard from high winds, dust, and drifting snow. These farm stead windbreaks also provide food and shelter for songbirds, game, and other beneficial wildlife, and protect bees and other pollinating insects.
