Hogs in Orchard Offer Profits and Pest Control
A Virginia fruit grower details how grazing hogs in an orchard reduces mice damage and increases returns. He describes feeding regimes, forage crops like rye, oats, red clover, cow peas and soybeans, plus the value of pomace and orchard leaf litter. Hog activity curbs bark girdling by mice and locust outbreaks, while improving soil and pruning waste into pork.

Raising Hampshires in bearing orchards for forage
The speaker weighs pig breeds and orchard hogging. He argues that if Barred Rocks are unsuitable, Hampshires should be raised. He favors letting hogs harvest reachable fruit, using forage crops with grain and tankage, and removing lice to improve stock, turning the orchard into hogs’ paradise.
