Okay, Jack get this guy and your well driller, and let’s find some water.
With his gadget, he mapped out the bottom of the aquifer beneath my feet so all you had to do was pick all the low points and you would find water. All it needed was to drill a well where I was pretty certain I would find water but to make certain I hired a guy that guaranteed he would find water. It’s September 2015 and at the south end of the ranch, there is a 100-acre piece of ex-dry farming ground. Let me take you all back to the beginning. I didn’t know that diversifying would be such an expensive journey, “come on you weak heart times are a wasting.” I just turned 86 this past September and my safe way to diversify by growing Pistachios has already made me shout out “Is this trip necessary?” Well Jack, I don’t know but we’re going forward anyway. Not to worry Jack, you’ll only be 10 years older and wiser and ready to take the first wheelbarrow load of diversified greenbacks to the bank.

It seems that they take 6 to 7 years to produce their first nuts and are 10 years old before they are in full production. Next Pistachios are drought tolerant and can live 100 productive years and will stand hot and cold weather. The article tells me that Pistachios native land is the Mediterranean area whose climate is very similar to ours. It’s the year 2015 and I’ve just become a “wet behind the ears” 80 year old trying to make sense out of a nonsensical business that I just can’t stop loving, when a farm magazine I’m reading had an article about the wonders of growing Pistachios. Next, the quartered carcasses are sent on to a plant that cuts the carcass into ever smaller parts, put in boxes, and delivered to your local supermarket where the price per pound is raised again to a decibel level of customer grumbling, that the store manager recognizes as “that’s just about all we can charge this week.”
This miscarriage of justice takes me five years at the ranching level to do what these bandits do in a week. You may think that they might want to share the wealth with we producers, but then you would be wrong. At the slaughterhouse level, $1,000 to $2,000 markup on each head of cattle harvested has made the greedy group that controls 85 percent of all the cattle slaughtered in the U.S. These thrillers never show up at the grocery store as all the gyrations are mostly hidden from public view. A new venture might help level out some of the heart stopping, grab your ass price swings that usually get their start in the cattle futures market. In an ever increasing wild and woolly cattle market, I decided that the V6 Ranch needed to diversify.
