OK. These are just almond industry jargons that are usually found in a huller's receiving report. Huller is the guy who you haul off your shaken almonds to.
"Field run" refers to the product as we harvested it and includes the meats, shells, hulls and any other debris that we might have picked up with the nuts such as sticks or dirt clods.
"Crack out" is the term used for the percentage of what we delivered that is actual almond meats. The crack out is influenced by how clean the loads are, that is, how much debris is sent out (our loads were fairly clean, no rocks, dirt, etc.). It also varies from year to year due to growing conditions and how thick the hulls are.
Typically, crack outs run in the 20% to 25% range for Nonpariel. Ours is a little lower than that.
