Ever wonder how fruit farmers prepare young orchard rows for grass seeding? 🌱🚜 In this video, we’re putting our John Deere 4050 and a Perfecta cultivator to work as we get our newly established orchard ready for its next big step. Follow along as we explain how and why we’re cultivating the soil to create the smoothest, healthiest rows possible for long-term orchard success. 🌳
We dive into the benefits of properly preparing orchard floors before seeding, why smooth rows matter for tree health and harvest efficiency, and how the right equipment setup — like using the Perfecta Cultivator— makes a big difference. Whether you’re a farmer, a homesteader, or someone who just loves seeing where their fruit comes from, you’ll get an inside look at real-world orchard management here in Northern Michigan. 🍎🍒
Using careful soil management techniques today sets the stage for a lifetime of healthier trees, better fruit quality, and more sustainable farming practices. Learn why grass seeding is critical for young orchards, and get a close-up look at how we use modern farm equipment to make it happen.
