Shaking Almond Trees

The first part of the almond harvest process is shaking the tree. We have to wait till the nuts are dry enough to shake the tree in order to get the majority of the crop to fall off. ➡️Follow California Farmer on Instagram:   / californiafarmer   ➡️Like us on Facebook:   / california-farmer-2383932365004649   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.
