To date, Illinois pig farmers have already planted over 4,700 trees with this program. 

"Tree buffers are just one of the current best management practices that pig farmers are embracing to benefit the environment. We are proud to offer these grant opportunities to progressive pig farmers who understand the importance of stewardship for our future generations," says Jennifer Tirey, executive director of IPPA.
