I am an Agriculturist and I am human

I am a person. I am human. And I have great advice. 
My graduation ceremony of highschool was the 4th of June, and unbearingly cold. It was windy. It was long for 190 students to graduate. And little did I know, it was the last time I would ever see a lot of those people. My principal made a speech before resigning from public education for good. It was a goodbye for all of us. 

This is not his words, and they are not mine either. But they are great. 

The Speech

The Working Man, My Father


Every day I thank God for the things he has given us. I am thankful for he gave me my father. 
I have never met such a hard working, understanding, loving man that compares to my father. 
My father is my hero. 
I have never met such a loyal, passionate, respectable man like my father. 
My father is strong.
I have never met such a down to earth, humble, sacraficing man anywhere close to my father.
My father is my friend. 
I have never met such a knowledgable, inventive, determined man that is anything like my father.
My father is incredible. 
I have never met such an ambitious, reverent, faithful man that will ever be similar to my father
My father is unyielding.
And out of all of the wonderful things in this world God made for me, God made a farmer.

Annual Walnut Harvest at Lang Farms

A holiday favorite: the walnut. Find out how the hard working farmers of California bring them to your table.
I interviewed several farmers across the Salinas Valley of California. But one in particular, located in the San Joaquin Valley, caught my attention. Listen to what he has to say.
