The chart below allows you to estimate the wind chill temperature for a variety of temperature and wind speeds. For example, if the temperature is 10° F and wind speed 25 MPH do the following: 1) find 10° F on the top row, 2) read down to the row with 25 MPH, and 3) read the number in the intersection. In this example, the figure is -11° F. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1563986971974-N73VEUI9OP3UBFGPBG32/windspeed.gif Home As the old saying goes its not the cold, it's the wind that effects us the most.

Support Iowas Farmers has named KTF as a provider of advice and plant material, for people who want to do a buffer planting around any type of livestock facility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566162631279-2A0EJAA3EC5OE89YTVK6/Austrees+summer.jpg Livestock Buildings Vegetative buffers control odors through five distinct mechanisms: Lifting and mixing. Vegetative buffers lift the odorous air and dilute the odor compounds with fresher, less odorous air. Settling. Some odorous compounds leave the livestock facility attached to dust particles. The slower wind speed caused by the lower levels of the vegetative buffer offer the ideal environment for these heavier particles to settle out of the air stream. Filtering. Odor compounds and dust particles attach to the leaf surfaces of the vegetative buffer as the odorous air travels through the vegetation. Breakdown of odorous particles. Bacteria living on leaf surfaces metabolize the attached odorous compounds. Aesthetics. Trees distract a person’s eye and tend to soften the view of the livestock facility giving the site a more pleasing assessment and therefore the odor may seem less offensive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566162789422-O2YK424WKI5S3OL9IYTN/HOGBUI_1.jpg Livestock Buildings Above is a hog building in Iowa just before we planted it.

The curved rows are Techny Arborvitae, who says windbreaks have to be in straight rows? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566152963307-CP6T30L19HIW0KKHEYBO/wind_air_2.jpg Windbreak Examples Three row windbreak on the North and West side to protect a farmstead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155002860-DZK4AHIJ8JZ9W72YS6QX/wind_air_3.jpg Windbreak Examples Three row windbreak with Red Cedar on outside, 16 ft inside to White Pine, and 16 feet inside to Norway Spruce. This windbreak is 12 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155067408-J3ST2F7P1FJ9X81LRV69/wind_air_4.jpg Windbreak Examples We have Arborvitae along the road to the west, Arborvitae and Norway Spruce on the North side and Colorado Blue Spruce on the East side. I think spacing is too tight tight on this example for the long term. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155115074-VSTWSV7OCYR4KV1RBQJN/wind_air_5.jpg Windbreak Examples The West side is the long side, and 2 rows of White Pine and one outside row was a honeysuckle. After 10 years the homeowner realized the honeysuckle was a mistake and removed them to put Arborvitae on the outside and then Norway Spruce next to the White Pine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155522531-FN7GB0AUPXSX562VISM0/wind_air_6.jpg Windbreak Examples Here is a homeowner with roads on three side of his property. For privacy and a windbreak he has put 2 rows of spruce to surround his property on three sides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155570419-BKDBAGFHU22JHXTWILBC/wind_air_7.jpg Windbreak Examples Here is a 15 year old windbreak that has Techny Arborvitae on the outside Spaced 8 ft apart in the row. 16 feet from the arborvitae is the White Pine spaced 16 ft apart. 16 feet from the pine is a row of Norway Spruce spaced 16ft apart in the row. At the present time this windbreak is giving excellent protection but looking back it would have been better to space them 4 feet farther apart in the row and between rows, better for the long term. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155730555-TQLKH520O0SEIXT3PSBX/wind_air_8.jpg Windbreak Examples Here is a field windbreak that is 15 years old and ½ mile long in Iowa. It is a total of 86 ft wide with Red Cedar on the outside (left side) spaced 8 ft apart. Next row is White Pine and European Larch spaced 10 ft apart in the row. Next two rows are hardwoods, 7 kinds of Oaks, Walnuts, Ash, Hickory, and Hackberry spaced 6 ft apart. On the inside (right side) is Norway and White Spruce spaced 12 ft apart. About ½ of these trees will be removed in the future a little at a time to give the others room to grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155904525-1VM5UXRJKPKTFSFM857P/Windbreak+ND.jpg Windbreak Examples Newly planted windbreak in North Dakota, in Iowa and surrounding states we usually do not recommend using fabric for weed control but recommend herbicides. Fabric in our area is a home for mice, voles and rats and they eat the trees stems and roots in the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566155941255-RH7JQM1M8UAI2PLSQ1XE/Snow+catch+on+west+side.jpg Windbreak Examples We are looking North and have a row of Red Cedar and other evergreens to the east. They are quite thick so this picture is to show that with a thick outside row, as the snow and wind from the west, hits this first row it will create an area where the wind is decreased as it lifts up and over the Red Cedar. The result will be a snow bank occurring on the west side of the trees. This may be considered unusual as many people think all the snow drops on the leeward or downwind side of a windbreak. We estimate about 25% of the snow dropped here before going into the windbreak. As the trees get taller more snow will drop in this area. https://www.windbreaktrees.com/white-spruce daily 0.75 2019-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1568210884296-I3RFOUN716I55Q5B6251/White+Spruce+2019.jpg White Spruce 12 year old White Spruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566227936976-VAHLSBNTDW205SVR75Q1/IMG_3649.jpg White Spruce New growth in Spring, really blooms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566228262368-RZRLDJR54V168CSC9LH1/IMG_4332.JPG White Spruce White Spruce 5 years old from a 2-3 ft potted tree to an 8 ft tree. https://www.windbreaktrees.com/black-hills-spruce daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566391172393-H2SSNKMA4K93ONU7CGAI/blackhills2.jpg Black Hills Spruce 15 year old Black Hills Spruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566391744335-S4VVLKXUAXNGWGYBLVTF/blackhills.jpg Black Hills Spruce https://www.windbreaktrees.com/colorado-blue-spruce daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566836840491-NL1RJ7W7T93WO1IGRNRL/colorado2.jpg Colorado Blue Spruce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1567127619203-IFUE3J6AE53OX1KJFUP7/Colorado+blue+spruce+dieing+2019.jpg Colorado Blue Spruce This is what you have to look forward to when planting Colorado Blue Spruce in a Windbreak East of Nebraska. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566836770915-JL9EQPVIVN19DBUBBTOG/colorado+spruce+2013.jpg Colorado Blue Spruce Needlecast disease common on these trees, do not plant them in a windbreak east of Nebraska. https://www.windbreaktrees.com/austrian-pine daily 0.75 2023-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566397103819-01O5IMMAY9S0DWEJZ9LJ/51ZnMbgFPeL._SY450_.jpg Austrian Pine 10 year old Austrian pine, before they had so many problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1567652925142-GU8FISR26I9C5E0RHZWP/yellow+belly+sapsucker.jpg Austrian Pine Yellow belly sapsucker bird holes.

in October and Hybrid Poplars' on Right. Austrees are much thicker, stronger, live longer and hold there leaves longer in the fall. One of our newest projects is using austrees to pull nitrates from creek water. The roots form right in the water as shown to right in red. We are planting them 10 ft apart along one mile of creek.. They also hold the soil banks from eroding and testing will begin soon to see what happens on Nitrate removal. 8ft cuttings work great on this project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/85b17dd5-eb46-4a95-bfc0-3a9efcfe29dd/IMG_3319.JPG Austree Hybrid Willow - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566600334866-QVVN24V9AO2JIUEFWDDK/Austree+willow+cuttings+2014.jpg Austree Hybrid Willow A bundle of 100 of our 15” cuttings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566600383302-YJ2UT301CU8VFRMJ5E13/Austrees+2014.jpg Austree Hybrid Willow Our potted Austrees 1 year old and 6 ft tall ready for planting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566697600587-7V969JTCP52CVOMZYNJS/IMG_4018.JPG Austree Hybrid Willow Auger used for planting austree cuttings. 1 3/4 inch wide, 24” long, these can be purchased from wwww.greybunny.com or Amazon number GB-6883 https://www.windbreaktrees.com/white-oak daily 0.75 2019-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566847844421-XTV72NIBZVO5PI4M9RB0/white-oak-tree-e1508003954306+%281%29.jpg White Oak Beautiful large White Oak, live for centuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566847591609-HKDVJW35DAHZS6UKUM64/White+Oak+2014.jpg White Oak White Oak tree color in fall https://www.windbreaktrees.com/bur-oak daily 0.75 2023-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566431144282-7W3GRPNFVM6BWV34VAVV/shade2.jpg Bur Oak Bur Oak, large, long lived tree.

It does kill them. In the above picture the one on the left has a bad case, the one on the right is just starting and the one in the middle shows no symptoms. Dead leaves hanging on branches in the winter is a good indicator of this disease starting. Our Swamp bur oak has been shown to be resistant to this along with the swamp white oak. https://www.windbreaktrees.com/northern-pecan daily 0.75 2019-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566594774916-K9XLKHM228AMBFNJVODH/Pecan+2017.jpg Northern Pecan Branching structure of pecan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566594817885-MHQ212BJTOQZR9BUATPV/Pecan+picture+2017.jpg Northern Pecan Leaves and seed of Pecans https://www.windbreaktrees.com/complete-treeshrub-descriptions-and-prices daily 0.75 2021-06-08 https://www.windbreaktrees.com/ninebark daily 0.75 2019-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566696285229-80YR0FS3P3Z2SS8TTBH7/ninebark_bloom.jpg Ninebark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566696329643-U9KPRRTSSLBE85XCOEGV/nine_bark_bloom.jpg Ninebark Bloom of Ninebark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566698807205-LCOJ4DZO558DX6YG2LLG/100_2195.JPG Ninebark Seed pods on Ninebark, favorite food of small birds. https://www.windbreaktrees.com/green-or-white-ash daily 0.75 2019-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566596572948-WDQ2B0S1BJ6AX0UDX263/Green+Ash+courthouse+tipton+2019.jpg Green or white ash Green ash tree infected with Emerald Ash Boer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3886213e91b20001fbe429/1566596632008-OTRG5II5GEVGXJ2EBPJG/Green+Ash+Tunnels+with+EAB+2013.jpg Green or white ash These are tunnels caused by the EMB.
