Honey Locust: Summer Shade & Winter Fodder Dec 13 Written By Jesse Marksohn If there is one species to transform millions of acres of ruminant agriculture, look no further than the incredible Honey Locust. Light dappled shade in the summer relieves animals of heat stress, providing up to a 60% increase in daily weight gain. This also allows our cool season grasses to continuing growing through the summer slump, be more nutritious, and more digestible while not decreasing overall grass growth. When late fall and winter comes, these trees can drop hundreds of pounds of nutrient dense pods, up to 36% sugar and 10% protein, reducing your input feed costs and offering a more diverse, nourishing diet for your ruminants. This info sheet provides more insight into the wonderful world of Honey Locusts. Jesse Marksohn
