- With this deep ripping video I wanted to focus more on the first pass when ripping, which really shows how extensive and tough it is to break through the hardpan layer that we have here in the Central Valley of California.

My name is Ryan Valk and I am a California farmer. Most important to me though, I am a husband, and a father. Many people that I have met in my life have told me that when they thought of California, they thought of a crowded city or a beach covered in surfers. What you may not know is that California is the leading state in agricultural production! We have an extremely rich history of farming here in the "Golden State". My goals with this channel are to share my family's story of our farm/ranch here in the Central Valley of California, to share cool videos of the day to day operations and grind of a California farmer, and to explore other farms and ranches throughout my area. If you enjoy tractors, trucks, farming, learning, exploring, life lessons and experiences, and a good laugh, this is the place for you.
I am happy to see that you are educating people about just how difficult it is to farm on the West side of the San Joaquin Valley. I farmed in this area about 50 years ago. I ultimately became an engineer and left the area. We finally sold the last for about a year ago because of all of the hassles that to Larry county has imposed upon farmers. The Valley used to be concerned about the difficulty farming but now the government is full of being counters and city people that just do not have a clue and are doing everything possible to destroy the family form... Keep up the great work of showing just talk difficult it is to prepare the soil and make a profit at farming. Farmers get blamed for so many environmental problems that are not their fault. Family farmers live at their farms and are closer to the soil then any of the tree huggers at any University. Sadly professors who have never farmed seem to be experts and use their pseudo expertise to cause all kinds of problems that do not have to exist. Well I'll admit that we finally gave up I have the deepest respect for those who continue to fight and retain a family farm. The corporate farms are not the same and don't produce the same product.
Great post is,"to Larry" a dig on Tulare. It takes huge capital to farm these days. What does it cost to run that D10 for 1 hour?
It’s good to see a new generation of farmer taking the reins of the family farm in California. You have an uphill battle against political forces in Sacramento that are anything but supportive of our Central Valley farmers. Stay strong ... we appreciate what you do !
Thanks!! definitely an uphill battle for sure!
An informing video.
Most people have No idea just how hard hardpan is and the force it takes to go through it, you should have opened a patch and have someone attack it with pick and shovel.
Great job keep them coming.
Love seeing what you do! How Farms Work is how I got here.
This is the most informative video on ripping fragipans i seen in two days. I subscribed. Keep making more videos
Lots of work! Thank you for what you do!
Love watching me some bigass tractors thanks for the vids
Thank you for the good video.
Great video and Job at the field!!!
Great videos, another channel to subscribe to. I found out about you from Tara the Beaver Vineyard girl, she ran out of the Blue Diamond Apple snacks and was getting very hangry and told us all to come on over here and ask you for more, LOL.
great video
That is an impressive show of power. Oh and your use of the word penetration is a perfect way to explain what the machine is actually doing...///
Very interesting, informative. To think it takes one of the world's largest bulldozers to break up all that hardpan!
Get some one on one videos with the well drilling side, one of the most important pieces of the farming puzzle. Nice job on the channel so far.
Fantastic videos. Can you explain the soil profile horizons that emerge on your farm? Also what is the type /texture with respect to soil triangle?
LIKEE LIkee!!! I think the tripped sensor was a bearing out
Great video Ryan!! Keep it up
Thanks Tara! You've got some pretty cool subscribers who mentioned they came here from watching your channel!
Excellent video....
Awesome job good videos
I do the same thing on orchards in Washington state but luckily the ground has more moisture, is softer so I use 2-3 shanks & only do 3’-4’ deep, this season im only doing 400 acres 2 passes
excellent video
G'day great video mate.
Quite interesting materials.
It is like you are fracking the ground. Keep it up, rip deeper.:-)
California Farmer...question...When he rips the hard-pan layer up...How does it benefit you as that layer is just there and not turned up or say mulched over? Or does pan layer actually shatter into pieces when it is hit by the ripper?....I mean like trench digger does? thank you.
As past welder I’ve repaired three deep ripper shanks
This is awesome, we had some pipelines ripped in for our water lines/tanks .. have they ever done that type of ripping?!
I'm not sure!
Nice video. How many gallons per hour would you average on a job like this ? Thanks
Nice video
I just found your channel. When are you going to start making videos again? Great content and I like to see California farmers. Any of the real popular ones on UA-cam are in the Midwest
Love the progress brother, you'll get there!
Thanks!
Are the Fowler Bros going track over track accross the field then coming back and putting the tracks in the rips to split or are they doing the race track with only left or right turns?
Great question that I don't know enough about!
Is this somewhere around Farmington, Ca ?!?! I commute Hwy-4 from hwy-99 up to Copperopolis and I've been seeing a lot of old walnut orchards being pulled out and heavy equipment like what's on this video being brought in to prepare the dirt/soil for new orchard.
This is actually out off of Keyes rd. But I have a cattle ranch on hwy 4 just out of farmington heading to copperopolis.
Do you guys ever unearth artifacts??
Obviously, you can't come in and plant with your field looking like that so what is your next step? Do you use a disc or do you use a tiller?
We're do you farm at? I'm a John Deere Tec in Firebaugh at Thomason Tractor awesome video
Oh cool! I am in Oakdale (Stanislaus county)
Now I am not a farmer but that land does not look like it wants to grow things, I didn’t see hardly any green on the land they were ripping, Do you need to help the crops get their nutrients other than just water?
I’m surprised “they” allow you to do that in Cali! You’re hurting that ground!
Hurting that "ground" feeds many people! Feeding people requires a pretty significant amount of diesel fuel!
He got a track roler there just grinding itself to pieces and screaming all the way. Lol
What do you do with the soil after it has been ripped? Disc it?
Yep!
Cant imagine the bill to do that!
Was that Jack tone Rd? JK. I grew up outside Fresno on a Dairy. I have noticed over the years as i travel back to my home town more and more Almonds going in. Growing up we were always surrounded by Cotton,Beans,Grapes and Tomatoes. There were plenty of Orchards. Olives were plentiful and so were Almonds. But in the last ten years the farmers have almost all gone Almonds and even Oranges. The lack of diversity in the crops grown in the valley these days makes me wonder. Tree's are a long term investment, to many will kill the market. We experienced this in the 80s with cows. Is it the State that is driving the change, or just economics?
Economics. They still make great money even though it seems like everyone is planting. The future can only tell!
I love almond butter. Dieticians are saying peanut butter causes diabetes, so us in the East are switching over. Does that help answer the question.
@@bethfrazier414 In about 10 years the market will tell i guess. I dunno if the demand is high enough for the supply that is coming. But the state of California has killed off thousands of acres before.
I wander what the total bill will be for ripping that field up..geeeez
It's not cheap, I can tell you that!
And some people say plant a beet or a turnip. lol.
What company is doing the deep ripping?
Fowler Brothers Farming
What do you do after deep ripping
How do I reach out to you with a contact as a young farmer
wow. over a thousand views by the time i got to view.
How much a hectare does a hour of work cost the landowner? I’m just wondering. It looks expensive.
I watched.
💪👏👏👏👍😎

I want to see your 12 valve.
Great idea! I'll try and do a video about it in the future!
WD-40 . . . STAT!
4 to 5 year's you get a peach crop but not hvy
that ground needs some green manure and animal manure real bad .
A d6 would do that ..
Your mom could do that..
It kind of reminds me of a manmade earthquake.
That's what it feels like being next to it!
Has any of this farm land been ripped like this before? This seems like it would allow faster rainwater intake to the ground water table. What does run off look like during rains? I would think a huge reduction in silt and rain water run off to those damn rivers flowing into ocean's Trump warned us about.
Farm land in the Central Valley of California gets ripped every other year in most places that is not an orchard. There is a high calcium and mineral content that builds up to be a rock hard layer about 15 to 40 inches below the surface depending on what part of the Valley.
Save a farmer, get rid of Pelosi, Newsome, Schiff, Getty, and Brown. Then the farms will be saved. They will make it legal for the general public to come pick what they want. Stores in Cali have no theft protection now. shoplifter can take what they want and not face prosecution.
too dry for me, I need a minimum of 45 inches per year evenly spread
Hey "Corn Cob." How about answering intelligent questions I and others have asked you on past videos about your farming operation.
All you do is basic video with little or no educational content and pass on teaching anything. Thus,..... answer our questions. Your not that UA-cam big, but you could be.
You are right, I have done a very bad job at replying to everyone. I honestly have been very busy on the farm right now, which is why I haven't done many videos lately. I will try and do better at staying ahead of the comments. I appreciate the constructive criticism.
