Introduction
The primary purpose of farm shelter is to
protect livestock, pasture and crops from
the wind. Strong wind causes physiological
stress in plants and animals. Plants'
transpiration increases, desiccating pasture
or cropland and stunting its growth. A
greater proportion of animals' metabolism
is diverted into maintaining body
temperature instead of weight gain.
