just a little clip with some of the cherry harvest action. My neighbor farms about 60 acres or so and asked if I could help him during harvest. since this is down time for my grafting business.. I'm playing truck driver, forklift driver etc

  • amazing !

    it's my job but in france i'm a supervisor of 25 pickers and we make 100 ton in 2 months

    the bigger producer makes 200 ton !!

    this year we let 20 ton too small

    when i see this video i'm affraid ! here we paid half an euro for one kilo picked (to the picker) it cost us 84 cents of one euro with taxes add the package cost and production cost ,we must sell it 1.5 euros per kilo

    how many tons does he harvest a year ?

  • @upsweet07 400 tons

  • @mulefarms lapins bings and sweethearts

  • @1963impala2dr what type are those cherries

  • @upsweet07 its very hard here too.. for obvious reasons. too many acres in california. at one time I considered planting on my property but now, I'm glad I didnt.

  • @1963impala2dr

    i'm french so my english is not perfect !

    this year we had big rain at the begining with big splits !

    i said affraid because this buisness is going down for 5-6 years and it became hard to sell a good price and some countries of east europe (turkish) are comming in the buisness but they don't have the same cost for handworking

    3 years ago i've seen some californian cherries in paris they was perfect !

  • @upsweet07 why afraid? on a good production year, he picks 400 tons in about 3 1/2 weeks. but... you know how it goes. ........ frost, rain, hail or too cold for the bees to work... and then there is no crop. or if everyone has a big crop.. then the prices are low. with Cherries, you might get 1 good year out of every 5.

  • @frahoebreak haha.. you say that like it was 30 years ago..

  • those were fun days when i used to pick cherries

  • Farm life is wonderful if your business goes well.
