Irrigation

The orchard is irrigated with 8 water wells that have electric submersible pumps that are tied together in a gathering system including over 21 miles of trunk lines and laterals. The laterals are in every other tree row and contain sprinkler risers that are able to water beween the trees. The orchard is also irrigated with micro sprayers to every tree which are very water efficient.  The irrigation system is in excellent condition and very user friendly.

Trees

The trees are being properly cared for, including fertilization, foliar applications of zinc and micro-nutrients, insect and disease control. The orchard floor is purposely kept bare of weeds and other vegetation to reduce competition with the trees for water.

The earning for this year was $1,303,849. The average yearly income from 2015 through 2019 was $689,109.
