Tearing down the peach orchard - phase I - Heart breaking, I know! This will give way to a beautiful almond orchard in future!

It's painful because these trees served us well and they have a good number of production years still remaining on them. But, considering all factors and Del Monte's guidance and outlook, we decided it's best to get out of peaches.

On a slightly positive note, this torn down orchard is assimilated into the soil as chipped wood (that's the plan, at least).
