Planting A Surprise Crop On The Farm! But what is it?

What happens here

The video discusses the strategic layout of the food forest within the pastures. The goal is to create 'U-shaped' hedgerows along electric fence lines. This design provides natural and beneficial shade for cattle and creates bedding and food areas for wildlife (deer, rabbits, bears, etc.), fostering a holistic and regenerative land management system. The fence lines will protect young trees from cattle until they are established, after which the fences can be removed.

Goal: Plan and understand the strategic placement of hedgerows in pastures for multiple benefits.
