Abstract
A financial analysis of an ongoing, long-term black walnut management project established near Stockton, Missouri, USA, illustrates the differences in profitability between various plantation management options, including agroforestry, and conventional cropping systems.
Agroforestry provides the black walnut grower the opportunity to develop a portfolio of short-and long-term investments thus allowing for some risk spreading through diversification.
Agroforestry management regimes yield greater financial returns than either black walnut grown for timber only, for timber and nuts or a conventional rotation of soybeans and winter wheat.
