Staying Inside Where There is AC

In a family almond growing operation, not everyone is out in the field. Grant Alldrin is with Alldrin Brothers Farming in Stanislaus County while his dad, Gary and brother Tyler are out in the field farming those almonds, he's inside overseeing all the value-added products that that operation delivers to the consumer.

My dad and brother are out in field. My brother grew up, you know, playing in the dirt and sand and I grew up in never liked getting dirty or anything. So, I thought I'd get job with a cup of coffee and some AC

That AC is particularly nice in the summer.

My brother loves working out there. He loves working with tractors and everything, and dad's just a great teacher, you know, he's third generation, and we’re fourth generation almond farmers. Almonds is the only thing we know how to do pretty much so, but we do it pretty good, but yeah, my brother is about six years younger than me and he loves it out there. However, when things are really busy such as harvest, I do not see him much, but

it's all good.

In more news almond trees are still taking up water in November, if they still have leaves. Post-harvest irrigation will be important for varieties harvested in late October. Crop evapotranspiration is the sum of the transpiration from leaves and evaporation from soil. And it is referred to as the crop water requirement or orchard water requirement. According to UC Farm Advisors, total ET for the orchard by the end of November should be approximately 39 inches.
