Apple orchards grazed in France - Increasing the profit from your orchard

Why graze orchards with sheep?

Sheep can reduce the cost of grass mowing in orchards
Sheep can promote nutrient retention and cycling within the orchard
Sheep can eat fallen leaves (a refuge for apple scab spores) and fruits (a refuge for pests such as sawfly andcodling moth) which should result in reduced need for pesticide applications
Sheep could reduce vole populations (which can damage trees)
Grass can be used to maintain ewes or fatten lambs, which can increase farm income

Featured Farm of the day

Agroforestry on municipally owned sites - example Donzdorf (Germany)

Between 2007 and 2010 the city established five agroforestry plots with trees for valuable timber production on city-owned land, sized 0,15 to 0,75 ha. The city decided for valuable timber trees, among other reasons because it couldn’t guarantee the maintenance of traditional orchard trees on the selected plots in the long-term.
