Saving tens of thousands of dollars for helping the planet

These farmers are saving tens of thousands of dollars for helping the planet. More than 40 per cent of Gary Kadwell's property is dedicated to revegetation after he planted tens of thousands of trees across his property. It is a move that has seen him save thousands of dollars and improve production levels.

I have not yet looked at TFA but am wondering if Gary Kadwell is going to recapitulate the experience of those 19th-century German pioneers of forestry, who saw their plantings die off after about 50 years because they were too ecologically simple to be self sustaining.

And a look at TFA suggests that no, he didn't just go out and plop down 10,000 monoculture seedlings
