Don't misrepresent what I said. It always seems that everyone slams pines for wildlife habitat and that is a mistake. It is in how the stand is managed NOT the tree growing on it. I LOVE managing pine stands because of all I can do with it. The native browse is great food, year-round cover, nesting habitat and diverse, easily managed natives that I don't have to plant. It does NOT generate the volume nor protein levels of planted and fertilized beans. Maybe better than corn but hard to beat beans for forage. Two different things that can't be compared.
