Roux Pecans orchard slashing



My good friend Eric Starke who is a very big fruit farmer on the Piketberg Mountain had one look at the orchard floor and remarked "This looks like organized chaos."


And it does, until some semblance of design is made by slashing down the rows and leaving the mix of grass and clover to rot and then nourish the coming crop.


Simon is on the new tractor with a wider slasher than the old one. This saves time and diesel. Besides, the tractor if from the new generation of clean burning engines.
