What does it cost to plant a tree?

[racinfarmer]

Apparently in Minnesota, about $714 a tree will get the job done with federal grant money.

Their executive director is "thrilled."

Quote

The $10 million award will finance the planting of nearly 14,000 trees over the next five years under a new project called Cooling Minnesota Communities.

maybe Minnesota should replant trees on all the land that was once cleared for agriculture and cropland?

Depends on the size and location of the trees.   Big trees ain’t cheap.

While they are not, I'm exceptionally skeptical of the price based on the recent fraud/waste in this state.

Anyone who looks at this should be.

Someone is walking away with a big administration cost payday to run this program.
