The Schneitelwirtschaft is a use of forage trees to feed cattle, the so-called " Schneitelung ". Cultivation, tending and regular cutting of the forage trees create the ecologically valuable cultural landscape typical of this type of economy. In the Alpine region , the common ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ) was mainly used for snipping. In addition, the linden , elm , maple , oak and fruit trees were also used. Coniferous trees were also used in rough locations.

Due to the depopulation of the southern Alpine region in the early 20th century, this form of farming has declined sharply. The typical Schneitel stands still to be found today (formerly hedges and sparse forests) are therefore forested in many places.

Snowing is practically no longer practiced in Western Europe, in parts of Africa or South Asia (India) it is still a common form of cultivation today. It was first operated in Central Europe by the Neolithic farmers, the ribbon ceramists .
