As I was hiking through Lone Elk Park today I wondered if this is what silvopasture looks like - bison grazing in the forest. It makes so much sense. Wide open spaces are awesome in the desert, but not in south-eastern Missouri. I think we all need to challenge our thinking about what traditional farming has come to mean to us. I wonder if my friend, the cattle rancher back home in Germany, has ever considered adding trees to his pastures. Another friend ranches in central Missouri and his herd has access to the woods, I thought that was unique to have cows in the forest, but now it makes sense.
