W. F. Bulkley, extension forester at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says that th4 comfort a windbreak provides on a farm by slowing down the cold winter winds will be appreciated more every day as the trees grow larger. Biggest advantage of a windbreak, Bulkley believes, is the protection it gives to farmers iA outside framstead work in cold weather. Other reports have shown that feed consumption is actually less on stock farms where the animals have the protection of a good windbreak. A good windbreak will also protect wildlife in winter. Quail and pheasant will find refuge during the winter. Song birds will nest in the trees in the summer too. Windbreaks start to form snow barriers in northern Illinois when they are five to six years old, Bulkley says. You'll start noticing wind reduction in seven years, and a 15-year-old Windbreak will give good protection for about 125 feet on the leeward side. Density of evergreen growth will depend on keeping livestock out. Livestock tramping around in the windbreak can permanently injure trees. Mulching for the first few years will help to give you healthy trees, but you will have to watch out for bagworm and red spider mite damage. For more information on farm windbreaks, ask your farm adviser for a copy of Circular 38, "Windbreaks for Illinois Farmsteads," or write directly to the College of Agriculture, Urbana. Ask your farm' adviser for a list of tree sources and prices, and plan to "visit a farm Or two where a windbreak has been growing for several years before you plan your own.
