Our farmers around here are on average no big wildlife fans. They do however anything said to protect the apple harvest.

Perches for real existing birds of prey and sound systems plaing the voices of absent ones do not exclude each other. The colour and material of protective netting is like sort f a second religion, some insist on shiney pure white or metallic pastels with an UV value, others on drab black mesh. Some plant special roses or miniature apples at the end of each row as they believe that some moth and bug species will prefer them over the comercial apples and draw their attention off the harvest. Many bring out smoke barrels filled with wet leafs in spring, to use when ever there are open blossoms in the trees and night frost threatens. There are field chappels with solemn annual processions featuring clergy and prominence, and also well paid lobbyists to keep some yucky chemical treatments legal and outlaw others -- so why not also strange spacerocket sculptures that make loud sounds before thunderstorms in summer? It is just an apple farmer thing. :o)
