For the benefit of those who would like to get some idea of the
probable cost of renovating old apple orchards, the following estimate
made by the writer in a recent government publication on this subject
is given. This estimate has been carefully
made up from actual records
kept on several New York farms. Because these costs are very variable
according to the condition of the orchard, both maximum and minimum
amounts are given per acre for the first year only.
Minimum Maximum
cost cost
Plowing $2.00 $3.00
Manure, 10 to 20 loads at $1, or their
equivalent in commercial fertilizer 10.00 20.00
Hauling manure 5.00 10.00
Pruning and hauling brush 5.00 10.00
Disking or harrowing twice 1.00 1.50
Disking or harrowing 3d or 4th time .50 1.00
Cultivating two to four times .50 1.00
Spraying once with L.S. dilution 1 to
9--material 2.00 4.00
Spraying once, L.S., labor 1.00 1.50
Spraying second time with L.S. dilution
1 to 40, labor and material 1.50 2.50
Spraying third time with same 1.50 2.50
