Grinding up an old Almond Orchard with 1,000 Horsepower Grinder!

- Once an orchard has passed its prime production, it will be torn out and replanted. Part of that removal process is grinding up the trees into small chips of wood. Check out the machine that gets it done!

My name is Ryan Valk and I am a California farmer. Most important to me though, I am a husband, and a father. Many people that I have met in my life have told me that when they thought of California, they thought of a crowded city or a beach covered in surfers. What you may not know is that California is the leading state in agricultural production! We have an extremely rich history of farming here in the "Golden State". My goals with this channel are to share my family's story of our farm/ranch here in the Central Valley of California, to share cool videos of the day to day operations and grind of a California farmer, and to explore other farms and ranches throughout my area. If you enjoy tractors, trucks, farming, learning, exploring, life lessons and experiences, and a good laugh, this is the place for you.

Great video and very nice of Zak to give such a detailed description of what was going on and including costings - most contractors won't tell you things like that. Thanks for sharing.
22 years old and I've always wanted my own family farm. I'm glad your making these videos im going to follow your footsteps for when I get my own plot of land!
Ha, this reminds me I need to get some mulch for the yard.
Tons of power! I've seen orchards all ripped up driving up the 5 and always wondered what the next step was. Cool!
I remember building that B66 L
$600-$800/ac to grind and haul off the chips seems really cheap to me. No wonder so many orchards are ripped up (and seemingly always planted with grapes).
I get chills thinking..what if you got pulled into that thing.
Just read the description. lol Must take years to get a crop up and going to harvest .
I'm seeing more an more Doosan equipment lately. They must be priced well.
They’re junk
Are you grinding more becuase of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act?
What do you do with the mulch
Ok. But, why do those.piles get burned and pollute more? We don't need any smoke for any reason in the air.
Biomass plants don't produce much smoke
@@brians9633 not.from what I've seen with my own eyes. Besides, any smoke, at any means is unnecessary. I feel it's wrong and you should research it more. Don't ad any smoke. Mulch fields instead. Make it free if it too much. Just stop putting more smoke into our air. There's my point.
Why not use G&F ag
Firewood?
Would they let a guy buy just a couple trees for the wood? I need some walnut-pecan-almond wood :)
Bio-composting and nutrient recycling aside, the actual USE of the wood (harvest?) from those otherwise chipped up trees would seem to be a natural "off-shoot" industry of the Green Revolution.
Sometimes, all it takes is a nudge.
Thanks for the nudge. Market - Please respond. ;?}
Why?
Cbi grinders whistle more
why do you do this instead of burning the trees? I'm from Spain and here it's expensive to hire this machines for grinding the trees
California air resources board wont allow it.
@@davidsquall351 Really? It's only wood....not fossil fuel. In Spain when we use this machines is for making natural fuel for the domestic boilers... but we would never think of using that expensive machine for throwing the final product at the floor..... Furthemore, the almond BTU is so high
California "green" laws most likely.
Burning causes so much soot and fine particles, not good for our lungs!
مرحبا اسعت بالتعرف عليك مع تحياتي لكم من ليبيا 🌴💦
I want to contact u
why is the orchard old seems a waste
Have you seen the photo of roots from native plants vs. roots from Agricultural crops? Seems like ripping up monocrop trees repeatedly from the ground is only going to contribute to drought and dust bowl like conditions. This practice seems antithetical to regeneration. Thank you for sharing though, otherwise people wouldn't even know about this practice.
These orchards are only ripped out after 25 years. An almond tree won’t produce enough to harvest until it’s 3 years old.
