- Removing a peach orchard using an excavator with the Fowler brothers.
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.
I tore out my Dad’s 2 acre apple orchard about 10 years ago. He planted it in the early 50’s. So the trees were about 60 years old, and him being in his late 80s he couldn’t take care of them any more. I always hated pruning apple trees as a youngster so I didn’t feel to guilty tearing them out with my 70 year old Cat D4. I said I was pruning them for the last time. It was still a bittersweet moment.
Keep up the good education. This has to be very interesting to folks who have never been exposed to the production of fruits and vegetables. I still have Valley dirt under my nails.
Really cool man interesting to watch.
Awesome content
Fowler Brothers must have a pretty good feel what orchards are going to come out when..
Hi Ryan! Nice video ! You live in a very nice Land.ich like America. many, many people are very nett.wir had here many American Gi s I have met many. All fully Ok.

Thanks for the support from Germany!
Great video mate.
Very interesting. How old are the peach trees?
You know, I'm not sure! I didn't ask! I find that after I film something, I think of a hundred different things I should have asked.
Between 7-10 yrs old.
Hey California farmer.. Is this sweet grubber a custom attachment or oem. I used to grub and clear blocks of unsold trees at a 400 acre tree nursery with a skid steer and sometimes had to use a 3 tyne ripper for 20 ft pine trees.
Hi, Ryan can you maybe put some close up photos of the fork on the excavator please.
For people in other parts of the country, where crops we grow are an annual it is interesting to see where crops are a on a much loner life cycle spreading out over years
It definitely makes things interesting!
Is the attachment for digging them up something you guys made or bought from a dealer?
We just used a JD2640 tractor and a chain
That'll work!
put your heart and soul into these crops, sometimes tough to take them out.
You should make a how to grow a peach tree video
You must be ripping these trees out because of the extreme California drought we have had going on these past few years? Lol. What a waste to plant more almonds or walnuts, in one of the largest fruit producing Valley’s in the world. (Obviously, I’m kidding ) Way to go Central Valley! Wasting water again to provide the world with food?! How dare you. 😂
Haha thanks you had me nervous for a minute!
Amazing how you can't go five comments deep on any ag related video and not see "feed the world". How bout we feed Americans healthy good tasting food for a change? You don't think there are plenty of third worlders ready to "feed the world"?
Sad to watch..The field is dry and scorched. Doesnt look like a good place for peach trees
Why do you remove these trees ?
If you clicked on the video why did you not watch it?
Chinese excavator? Not on my property!
Eh its all relative these days! My kubota orchard tractor has parts made in America, and my John Deeres have parts made in Mexico, Brazil, Germany etc..
You have that all wrong ! especially being a farmer the chinese government and people ignore all international laws and steel all technology and copy righted materials when they stop stealing every other countries hard earned work then it will be the same as buying japanese or korean products until then honest people should avoid purchasing there products.
Doosan is Korean? Not Chinese?
@@joonasriihimaki1311 This is what we call someone or in this case Jim, being racist. All he knows is that it's not "made in the good ole US of A" so in turn lumps all Asian countries together. Pretty typical these days.
