Planting Trees on Farms

At Jóia Food and Fiber Farm in Northeast Iowa, thousands of trees and shrubs line the fields and pastures. There are oaks, sycamores, wild plum, hickories, elderberries, apricots, apples, and more. Farmer Wendy Johnson started planting the trees in 2019 in response to severe flooding and erosion and to create a better habitat for her sheep and cattle.
