What a fantastic film - it captures so much of what is good happening in Iowa. Congratulations to Nick Ohde and the whole team at PFI and to all the farm families involved for presenting this powerful vision of what farming and food in our state should be - and can be - if we work together to make it happen.
I have been farming chestnuts on and off for quite a long time. It's a hobby for me but this was the most informative video I've ever seen. And its indexed quite well amazing thank you so much for doing this. I'm planning to head out to Wisconsin to buy some land to put some chestnuts in I've been planting chestnuts in the Pacific Northwest on and off for a long time.I sprout my own trees at this point , I've tried containers and cages I've lost a lot of trees to containers . I fight deer and elk and other little varmints . Anyway a deep thank you great video
THANK YOU, FOR THIS HELPFUL TUTORIAL!!! IMHO: THERE WOULD BE A HUGE REDUCTION IN TOTAL LABOR, AND ASSOCIATED COSTS, IF THE REGULAR "MOWING" COULD JUST BE ELIMINATED ALTOGETHER!... PERHAPS SOME SORT OF MIX OF "NATIVE WOODLAND WILDFLOWERS" WOULD BE BEST...
I heard through Michael Judd, 40 trees per acre but thin half after fifty years and half again until about 4 trees per acre which still creates 3500+ lbs per acre. Def check his podcast out as my numbers may be off
This is the most informative thing I have seen on Chestnuts I have seen. Thank you so much.

What a wonderful gift
Another genius presentation on chestnut farming.
I just need to know the spacing. It would have been nice to see it in the timeline titles.
What about altitude ? Will chestnuts grow above 1,000ft? 2,000ft? Thank you.

"Landscape Mat" is known as "Weed Mat" in Australia.
The $10k per acre quoted....would that be about 20 trees?
Great question

Not fond of the round up poison
