SECTION 01
LANDSCAPE DESIGN The following case studies represent vegetative buffer opportunities for different kinds of livestock farms. They include a farmstead (hog barns on the owner’s home site), pig nursery, hog finishing barns, cattle barns/feedlots, cattle grazing systems and dairy. Case study pictures are shown as existing (before planting) and as ok proposed design (how plantings would look on that same site). Although each site is unique, an experienced professional designer can adapt concepts shown on the case studies to your site. It is our hope that you will use these case studies to inspire, motivate and guide your planning efforts. FARM WITH HOG ENTERPRISE ON SITE
