morning oh good morning Hi how are you
good how you doing how's your trip fine
good I don't if you get my business card
no I I came here I say I see seat berley
seat and I I was visiting yesterday two
farmers in in Tucan ah and they told me
that they take seeds from Barkley you
supply seed for for for many many people
yeah a lot of people then your Fields
special for seat yep that's what we do
you you plant vat special for the seat
yep we also do it for the grain also for
grain we do
both so yeah we actually Supply we
produce our own seed produce our own
grain that's all in
house so we how many Wheats you you
plant well um I visited one farm he
plant like 2 million pound 300 acres uh
and he took me to other far three miles
from him he have much much bigger than
him yeah it's big fields here this is in
how much you how many acres you have we
have
um about uh something 180,000
tons probably about 60,000 acres under
contract 60,000 Acres yeah but we we're
in we're in a couple areas we're in uh
in F Valley which is to the West yes
there's like U how many miles more you
have 00,000 Acres over
there how many miles you have to the
West till California oh it's like two
one or two miles to the West one or two
miles is California California you are
in California yeah we're in California
we're about but the valley starts about
50 miles from here 40 miles from here
where is the river how many miles from
here the Colorado River half mile half
mile mile half mile is the Colorado
River and this is the border between
this is the border between California
between Arizona and California correct
yeah if you uh you can't quite see it
from here but if you go up to the
highway here the uh
Pacific can can I can I close this door
I should yeah thank
you yes I came I came from Pacific yes
yeah but if you went back north of
Pacific and that 16th Street here and
you get on the interstate interstate 8
West in a mile you cross a bridge and
then you'll see the river right there
and I cross the bridge then I go over
the river and then when you you'll see a
sign it says you're now entering
California C this and you and you are in
California yeah we have a grain facility
in California you know a town uh
mad mad in California Madera Madera yeah
yeah I know where it's at where is the
how many miles from the border from the
river oh Madera is uh that's clear North
that's near um north of Fresno
California which is about 7 hours from
here 7 hours now I understand yeah so I
got a big confusion yesterday I tell you
why because I make a lot of research on
the phone it's the first time I came
here because everybody told me all the
rabbis you got to come there and see in
person and I thought yeah yeah it's uh
that's a long way from
here I'm going turn this off real quick
because I I all the time thought I told
I thought every time that it's not it's
not necessary even still when I came
here it just was I figured let me try
and come but as soon I arrive here I see
it's a real it's a real fake I have to
be I found out here things when I when I
took a person to the farmers I found
somebody told me yesterday I visit two
farmers in two they told me that in tan
they have no problem with the salt lot
of less it's a lot of ground a lot of
less yes because here uh the RAB is told
me that here the minimum what they have
to do they have to make before they
start the planting
uh before they start to dig how you call
it the first
thinging before before the tillage they
have to make the minimum but they have
to make three or four times irrigation
uh repeatedly MH one after the other
this push down the saltt right and uh
many times a lot of times is not enough
then they have to add chemicals whatever
but this is the minimum what they have
to do because it's Yuma and they told me
in tan they have nothing to do they told
they told me the reason because it's not
so hot and and they have the vs there
8900 yeah you're sitting at about
2,000t most of that a lot of that's well
water now they do supplement some of
that with the Colorado River called the
uh central Arizona project which is a
canal that goes from around Parker
Arizona which is 110 mil north of here
and it cuts across central Arizona down
north of Phoenix yes and then there's a
canal system delivering water into the
Phoenix system and then from that point
it delivers in all the other system and
then there's some storage water storage
units and stuff from Phoenix all the way
down towards Tucson and then they
supplement they use wells plus the
Colorado River to supplement their water
so the salt content that's coming in
from the Colorado River is reduced
because there's so many Wells being
pumped too how many how much PPM is in
their Wells they told me it's 8900 oh
feet deep yeah but they're pumping um
4,500 gallons what 4,000 gallons of
water per minute yes yes they told me
you CH out yes yeah but they're I don't
know if they're 900 maybe they are 900 I
was thinking they're more like 450 ft
deep a lot yeah he explained me it's 900
ft deep while they pumping from 500 ft
okay that's it so they drilled that what
means what means what they do is when
they drill down there's an aqua
down here's your here's the Earth's
crust okay here's the Earth rust right
here so when they drill the well down
you get into what you call an
aquafer yes like like this then you have
the ground that comes kind of like that
so there's like a bowl of water and this
is water uhhuh okay now this ground
between here right in here is
porous what means porous porous okay so
it so it it it water trickles down so it
recharges uh uh so this this one is
recharging
in Arizona they're recharging aquifers
so what they've done now when they drill
that well down here they'll go clear
down
to 900 ft right here
or this is a little bit out of scale but
then they put a pipe down in here then
they put that what they call the pumping
Bowl this is the bowl yes right here
that's where the water goes into and
that's where this that's where the pump
then is pulling the water from so what
happens is when they're see they gone
this far down 900 ft to get
drainage get all this water to seep in
into this pipe and then with the
pressure it pushes up and so then the
recharge is
high what is recharge what you're riding
there what is recharge okay recharge is
is the aquafer refilling or recharging
the bowl from the
aquafer okay this isn't all water this
isn't all water there's Rock yes and
dirt and everything else a lot of that
in here okay okay but it's just not
solid water it is a body of water down
there but it's got yeah it's got other
so then what happens is that water seeps
into this bowl and they pump here up out
of that bowl so if you don't go down
deep enough and make your well large
enough you don't have the drainage I see
for the water to seep into there so you
can pump it out and what makes the water
to separat from the
dirt it's just coarse and it's it's
nature yeah
but when I when I'm also talking about
recharging they have the ground here is
porous also it's Sandy yes there's not a
hard layer that stops the water so the
water that from The rain that's coming
down hits the Earth and it trickles the
water from the rain and the
irrigation yeah it all Tri and all the
rivers and the ayos that are in there
they all drain down into this aquifer in
in the B yeah into the aquifer what is
Acer that's what this whole body of
water yes okay that's the underground
water and when they got rid of the salt
the rain this 13 in Rain helps to to Le
yeah it it pushes the salts down out of
the uh root profile there's a root
profile here yes where the roots grow it
pushes it below it so the roots aren't
picking it up um maybe because it's so
far away from the because they told me
somebody here told me um Mr M yeah and
the salts also collect to the clay
particles yes and they aren't released
hea in they have a lot of clay clay soil
yeah because the heat and well a lot of
the clay is because we're farming flood
planes the rivers flooded and deposited
all the fine silt I you mean since since
since the world creation million years
ago yeah now they make 193 they build
the dam yeah and they control it they
control it there's no flooding anymore
so it's not new soil being deposited
anymore but but up till till till 90
years ago it was flooding since the bu
creation and that makes it and that
makes it clay yeah see on the soil
profile there's an
A A B and C Horizons they call them
Horizons yes and those are soil
levels those are soil levels in the
Earth's crust when you get down here far
enough in the
Bedrock okay that's just hard rock then
you get in the mantle so I'm taking it
through the Earth okay then you get to
the Earth's core which is hard but in
between the mantle it can be soft liquid
okay but I'm giving you a very crust the
very top the very top you know is so
perfect like the like the very top of
the earth what we're farming on there's
an A B and C Horizon Mo and that's in
most places in the United States you
have these three
okay this this is usually a is usually
top
soil B is usually a sandy
soil and C is
gravel gravel but but here in y is it is
TE of Sandy is it clay it's all
this what topso all topsoil the top soil
is clay clay with a little bit of sand
in it how many feet deep is the top soil
ones
here 40 foot 40 foot from the surface
down here in you is Clay because the
river maybe even 60 maybe even
60 because the river used to flood for
for all those years most of the big uial
Plains like the
Colorado uh the one that comes through
Welton um the one the the Salt River
that come out south of Phoenix that the
heila river a lot of them arm it's deep
it's really deep it's not they aren't as
deep there as they are here this all the
way into Mexico down to ELO is very very
deep there is no b or c right it's all a
it's all a w all a how many feet is how
many feet is it there it could be 60
down to water 60 is the deepest yeah I
don't know if that's why somebody told
me Mr n Mr n qu n you know him yeah he
told me that in y is the is the well he
told me like there in Ariz there in
Tucsan is at almost th000 ft deep but
here is at 10 10 ft deep yeah that's
just it see when you get down off of the
Mesa that we're on here and you get down
into the river bottom here which is all
the farm ground their water is no more
than 10t down yes and because and and
yeah they're pumping because what can
happen is when you get down that far uh
they get what they call a perched water
table where all the salt sit so if you
don't pump that water down to put the
salts below the perch then you ruin your
your
land so so what happens is when you're
sitting here on this ground then 10t
down you get all this water sitting
right here that has salts in it and
that's right here at this 10t so what
you do is you pump that back out so you
keep lowering it so when you flood
irrigate you push the sols back down in
so it's kind of cycling it so you dump
it into the river and the River Run goes
down into Mexico and to the ocean by the
way um um somebody told me that the the
the the technique that that you do to
push down the
salt um you plant you plant in the
middle you plant uh also lettuce yeah C
cabbage lettuce Vinted vegetables all
the coal crops yes because heat is the
hotest place and for for for rotation
you make you plant Wheats and and the
Reas one of the reasons for wheat is
they're put them in these
rows so that when you're looking at it
sideways the seed is planted
here like this okay so the plants are
going
here these are low okay they're 10 in
deep so when you irrigate this is where
the water comes
through what happens you push the salts
like this on top of these
beds okay so what they do then when they
plant wheat they knock all of this off
to make it flat
again it should be all the ground is
flat then they put wheat in
it and then when they irrigate it it
pushes all the
salts back down in the soil
uniformly across the whole floor so then
in the then in the winter again they put
these back up in beds and the ground's
all BR new it's all new and refreshed no
salts so then they plant on top of those
beds again so that's part of the reason
for the wheat or no my my question is
that that because by by the letters you
have to you have to reduce the salt more
for the more for the Wheats and how come
if after after planting the lers after
harvesting the Letts you finish and then
you want to plant wheat um um you have
to make other other irrigations or
chemicals to reduce the salt for the
wheat if it was reduced much
more they explain me because it's come
back once it's get dry the soil yeah
happens yeah how it works this I cannot
understand that so perfect yeah what
happens is the salts they told me the
salt come back from two well you had two
reasons a one from the irrigation water
and one from the old salt it came back
up to the surface it comes back up it
seeps the water seep even see you're put
to put a well down at 10t but you'll
have water seeping back up within 3 ft
yes okay because the river water is
coming back up it soaks back up it soak
oh
is Soak back from from from from the on
ground from the underground water yep it
comes back up and that's high in salt
that's what c
n water this keep it pushed down keep
this perched water table wh I had drawn
at a perch water table wherever it was
at keep that perch water table cleaned
out so you can flush stuff through there
that's what Mr ni told you he told me
that that that this underground water is
much more saltier than the Colorado
River because all the Sal they put on
the soil it's goes in and then because
it's so close then it's it's it's it
drinks it comes out the ground will be
if it's black if it comes back up it
becomes white you know below white dust
yes basically call that Alkali it's an
Alkali soil when it's white you see you
see the salt this is Sal you can see the
salt easily but when they wash easily
they could see it before uh every time
when they make when you when you
irrigate
this I don't know if you see it so much
yeah you probably would when they irate
here and they push water if they would
irrigate every other
one okay and not irrigate this one but
then irrigate this one they would push
water and the salts to this side of to
the neighbor wow and this side that way
the plant then is growing un clean no
salt okay if you did that you would see
a white band of salt all the way up down
that row I see and and Mr Atman you know
you mik he he told me that that's
why the the white color is is only from
the from the new from the new water or
from the also from the a lot of it's
from the new water because what you do
is you push you new and in the soil
because you do is you push those salts
away no but so what happens it picks it
up it picks it up and pushes it
away and then it's then when that water
stops and it stops and it doesn't go all
the way across the furl it's they stop
it on this half of the furl right here
so the salt sit there and you don't
water this row because if you did you'd
push it back uhhuh so you want to
collect all your salts on these two
sides right right in this area but but
when it comes back when it comes back
that's that's why you have to make
irrigation again and and put chemicals
to to get rid of the salt even before
before you plant the Beats well I'm not
going how much chemical is used to get
rid of the salt most of it's just
flushing with water
sometimes there's nitrol used which is
an acid which helps dissolve it so it
can carry through the through the soil
and out uh but I don't know if a lot he
also explained that that because the
clay soil it keeps the salt yeah it's a
POS he said like the he said you got to
have a negative charge and a positive
charge salts are
positive is that salts are negative
salts are negative and the when they two
they'll combine the play is a positive
charge the Sals are negative and they
combine and attach that's why that's why
it's holding down yeah it's and that's
why it's held he told me he told me that
that that that even after after leeching
the soil after washing the soil from
with with what what you do for it he
told me that they just reduce it to a
level it should be able to grow that's
right but it's still left there I know
it's 200 2,000 parts per million
maybe this this is the limit did he give
you a limit the number the way don't
remember because I'm not familian I
don't remember what he talk to me but
2,000 is the limit it should be able to
grow yeah I mean some things won't grow
in that but but V is all tolerant yeah
it's enough that he can grow v v he told
me V is all tolerant that's why it's
could be this is the number 2,000 I and
for cabbage for cabbage and lettuce how
much would be the it's lower much lower
yeah it's lower like 500 or I don't know
if you can get there it's probably more
like a th thousand will probably still
work that this um the lettuce is th000
and the Wheats is 2,000 maybe but he
said but I know there there are places
there are
wells that'll do that do
7,000
salts parts per million wells in Arizona
that push that much salt per per part
same like like like like the Colorado
River yeah because it comes from and
there's some that are
10,000 like you get up around Safford
Arizona that the here too if you're
going to do salt flushing they work
better than clean water they'll push
more salts through than clean water cuz
you aren't picking up salts and
redeposit you're actually just pushing
it it's not ready to pick anything it
just pushes it away pushing it pushes it
away how how come you told me that that
here in Arona because it's left so like
the 2,000 but you but you right there
that's why that's why it picks up the
Vats picks up salt even we don't want it
but we have no choice it goes in because
it's right by the roots it's it's we
call it real called it salt salt
accumulation he explained me that it's
real Salt it's it's Left Behind the
water left behind from of operation and
this is what the what the what the vs
picks her up even if it's not good for
them but we have no choice but how come
that that in t that they don't have
nothing to do this is probably because
their well which is 900 ft deep is is is
such a good water that it doesn't make
salt
accumulation well there's less salt in
the top soil yeah and they're pushing it
out probably so then it's not there for
for to pick up it's nothing to pick up
it's nothing to pick up for
the and but what do you think how much
but I tell you what I've seen a lot of a
lot of ground over there around Cass
Grand and
marijana and all the way to Willcox it's
pretty
salty it may not be quite as high as
this but it's still fairly salty this
could be pretty salty and they don't
have nothing to and they don't have even
to rec count it if it's salty they have
to make special irrigation before the
planting yeah but they raise good wheed
over there the wheat works well and they
raise melons and a few other things
better than heat and you no we make we
make more more tons more pounds per
acre what means Plum by the way I I I
saw an article that the the the wheat
heat is more plumped it's nice by the Dr
it's drier it's low it's only about a
seven or 6% moisture so it's very dry if
it's dry it makes it more plumped no but
it it fills real well okay it's got
plenty of water so it FS very well
there's no shriveling to it because it
gets all the water it needs for the most
part and but we also bred the durs that
are here for high Bush weight High test
weight for pasta how come I I saw that
that 95% from the whole Arizona the the
pasta be goes to to expert and mainly to
Italy they make a lot of pasta I I know
what it is it's because it is the best
wheat in the world to make pasta and and
just because we raised Durham here yeah
the environment helps but it's more than
the environment we've actually bred
these varieties to be specifically for
those high-end used
pastas you this pasta that we the wheat
that we raise here to make pasta you can
take the wheat you can Mill it take the
semolina out of it make your
noodle flour put your eggs and your milk
and your water and it make the noodle
and then when you let the noodle dry and
you boil the noodle to make it soft to
eat it's got a little bounce to it it's
called el Dente you can take you it's
called el Dente a little bounce a bounce
when you bite it then you buy it okay
you can take that noodle you can put it
in the refrigerator tomorrow morning or
tomorrow at lunch you want to eat it put
the water put the water back on the uh
stove boil it throw your noodles in and
heat it you'll still have the
bounce most pasta raised in the world
will dissolve in the water you can tell
when you got a good pasta because when
you boil it if your water all tone turns
real white and cloudy you boiled a lot
of the starch out of it yes therefore
the gluten strength is real strong real
light or if you take these high-end
pastas and you boil it the water almost
stays
clear and most of Italy likes a pasta
that's
tough then has a bounce to it's got El
Dente it's got a snap bite to it most
Americans like it to dissolve in your
mouth
and and the reason is because craft
macaroni and cheese has has brainwashed
most people to eat pasta like that and
they don't even use a Durham they use a
red wheat or a white wheat I see so it's
real sticky and they stick cheese to it
which they're trying to sell cheese and
not pasta that's craft macaroni and
cheese craft is a cheese company not a
Pasta Company or a cereal
company then you mentioned by by by by
biting is is is it not so hard it's
softer it's soft but you can tell it
doesn't disolve you actually have to
chew it I understand let me ask you by
the way but by the other views what what
what they have in in in New York from
Long Island when you chew it it became
like the outside it cracks it pops like
a shell mhm and then in the inside it's
it's as soon as soon you chew it it gets
soft like
flour and you have you feel either way a
good taste because it's get like flour
and here uh even the bread Beed the
rabbi here they they come here they they
they plant bread wheat not not dor wheat
but when we have it there and we chew it
it's it's it's I don't know what what
you say before but B think is it good
what you mean what we feel when we buy
that it cracks it's it's hard to chew it
very hard it's dry and even if I chew it
if you manage to chew it and chew it as
how long you chew it it's not became
stick it's not became stick together and
and and also the same thing is by by by
Milling the other weeds from Long Island
when you Mill it and you sip it after
when it's done the white flour it's like
whole whe it's have also everything in
but it's but it's pretty good sied and
it became it's not became like a dry
think it became the the the the the the
the flower from the Wheats but they they
plant here for the mat after Milling it
fall when when when you take it from a
bowl and you you pour it in the in the
bigger
it's fall like a very dry scand ours
does oh yes from Yuma even if it's bread
weed but they but they but they plant
and and and the other from New York or
New Jersey it's much different when you
pour it it's like flour but you buy in
the it's not full like a dry sand it's
it's full it could be much higher uh
much high amount I think that's your
reason right there you're you're
processing something that has 11%
moisture versus a 6% moisture that's the
reason and The Taste and The Taste would
be different taste is much different I
feel right way a good taste most the
pasta people and stuff they'll add
moisture they add moisture and it's
cheap that's the other reason they buy
it here there's other reason most most
flower mills most flower mills want to
make it either 11 or is it 12% moisture
when they Mill their flour they put it
in a tempering room but why I say it's
six they they harvesting when it's
6% uh dry just can't hold it what you
you just can't Harvest it any it just
automatically drops that fast it drops
uh you can yeah you can be out there
today and check that field what drops
the moisture drops the moisture they
can't Harvest it before this why you go
out and you check it at a point in time
it doesn't thrash very well okay cuz
it's too moist
okay by the time you get it to where it
thrashes with all the heads thrash good
the moisture depletes out of that head
quickly then it's up from one day to the
other yeah well one day or three days
because not everything ripens the same
time the head the head on a wheat plant
matures from the center outward like
this so if your wheat head is sitting
here like this the most mature is in the
middle and they ripen this way and ripen
that way because the heat because the
sun well no that's just the way a plant
does it the way it plants here okay
that's where they mature okay so then
you got this head out there and it makes
and then you got a plant that puts off
12 different heads okay from one plant
this smaller one down here and this
first one up here and this one over here
all mature at different times the same
head could be no the same plant the same
plant will have lots of different
maturity mature heads on it because they
come up at different times now they're
not like a week apart but they're days
apart is that I see see so now when you
finally get to for that fu will harvest
good real
well then you get started in there and
then the wind and the environment that
you're in which is very low moisture
here I mean it is low I mean it's not
40% or 60% relative humidity like you
have in New
Jersey so you can Harvest here all day
and all night you know out there the Dew
comes in at night you have to stop it
gets tough the morning it's moist you
got to wait till 10:00 to get going you
know stuff like that because because
because the combine the combine is not
cuz they're moisture moisture in the
grain a lot of a lot of the grain is
harvested in the field at that percent
New Jersey South Dakota Minnesota
Montana Indiana Illinois and you get to
Arizona southern part of Arizona New
Mexico 6% we he we'll see some grains
come in here at
8% I see but it's variably when we start
shipping but again why you not Harvest
by by by by 11% you can start but it
won't last it will why because the air
takes all the moisture out of it the
moisture leaves the plant to go what
means it wouldn't last what what what's
going to happen it
evaporates from the moisture from the
wheat yeah it's like you have a b going
to you have a bowl of water here yes and
the heat the
Sun the water evaporates the what's
going to happen with the wheat it's is
it going to get small nope what happen a
wheat when it's 40% moisture moisture
it's mature mature okay when it's 40%
moisture The Germ and the young plant
will grow it's mature okay at 40% the
kernel dehes itself from the plant I
mean it disconnects itself so once it
disconnects
itself it's not taking in any moisture
now it's just drying down from Once
40% the reason it goes to 40% the plant
starts drying down okay so there isn't
taking up moisture anymore the kernel
DEH is now it's going to dry down to the
environment but what's happen if you I
can What's happen if you harvest it by
11% What's happen it's well you're going
to get green kernels in there oh it's
you're going to get mushy kernels going
be because not all of it is going to
mature like that I see it could be mold
also I see I see mold could help develop
and you know this this this this is
other problem it was that you what why
are we looking to have from from from
from from Arizona mat V for the mat the
the the only reason is because we're not
allowed after after when it's when it's
mature more from when it's like 14% or
like you say 11% the
minimum is is if it's if it's 11% and
it's even if it's still in the ground if
it gets water it's a big problem I know
and they retrains a lot in this time
that's the problem now but we manage the
rabis they they are they are supervised
and they take care on it of course we
manage but but some rabis said let's go
to Arizona but the other RAB told them
but you mentioned now this could be much
worse because that problem why you can't
Harvest it by 11% yeah and you got to
wait by six well you want to be looking
well we we've actually done it we
started at 13 and
14% it's too wet it's too wet too wet it
actually feels wet I know I understand
so then you wait to a day and now it's
11 and it gets six and then the other
day it's okay so you're trying start now
you still got a few GRE next thing you
know you're down
8% well they said a couple years I I
don't know you know the thing is like
this nobody come here to Arizona even if
I if I I doing I did a lot of I did a
lot of research since the last year but
I never wasn't Arizona but they told me
the other they they told me that because
this a course like like you said before
on the plan one one hat is 14 one head
to six this is you can't take it off you
can't Harvest it and the six is so that
is 100% ready and then when it get even
how cold the vet from the night yeah do
what do do especially if it come even a
tiny bit rain and it's so dry which is
which is definitely uh disconnected from
the ground you can't temper the grain
because it's adding moisture to the
grain yes see tempering actually raises
the humidity in the chamber where the
grain sits and makes the moisture within
the grain come up to a uniform 11 or 12%
but that's adding moisture back adding
moisture back from the from the humidity
yeah that's a huge uh a huge uh a huge
problem for the for for for the a hug a
huge kosher problem yeah I know so you
said this could happen that when it's 6%
already it could get 11% bake from the
from the humidity and no you've got to
actually have higher percent humidity to
get that forced in there but it could
happen but you have to do it under a
controlled system you wouldn't do it in
the field it would not happen in the
field field it would not happen in the
field once it dries down to this in the
field you aren't going to get it back up
now you could if you got rain on it and
everything but then it's going to absorb
that water back up too much and then
it's going to cause starch to break down
into simple sugars other words Alpha
amas is going to start which is going to
break down your starches into simple
sugars which is going to start make food
available for that embryonic plant and
it's going to start
growing and start growing a little r
could happen in the in in the in the
harvesting season yeah it has it's good
a little a little r we only get two
inches of rain a year but we could get a
sprink it's good at a sprink that's a
weird Cloud could come through that's no
more than a mile wide and put a few
sprinkles down on it yeah ni yeah it can
happen but if it's so dry then these few
sprinkles could be a big problem and
it's happen we had we've had some
Fields the rabbi was out there and it
came through and it destroyed them yeah
but sometime but sometimes it's
impossible because they said now the
they used to take from you and the last
year they they they went to somebody Tim
I have his address Tim dun yes Tim dun
yes yes he's done some of it yes South
here and they they make like a contract
that they lease or they buy the field I
don't know how it works I don't know
what he did what we did we did it as a
price when we were doing it about five
six years ago it was this is what we can
do it for it's so much an acre you know
to get it done and this is the yield
we're going to take and it's kind of
like it's like $700 an AC it's like yeah
it's a total production and what you
don't take we can buy for grain and that
goes against the contract we've done
stuff like that it got to the point
right now
where for a Durham production it's going
to be about
$1200 per
acre per acre that's what the price of
Durham was this year equated about that
type of return to the grower return to
the
grower okay gross turn to the acre from
12 and if he got and if he got 8,000 lb
he's going to get more depends how the
grower was using but that number was
pretty close for all the durhams okay so
that's the market you got to go against
regardless of bread Wheats regardless of
whatever Wheats it's 12200 it's that
Durham Market it used to be 6700 yeah
there was a time when Durham was only
about $200 a ton per ton okay this year
it was 400
I'm talking for an acre yeah but this is
a per ton and you'll put 3.5 to four
tons per acre how much it comes out per
acre 12200 yeah so four times this would
be 1,600 per AC the last year they told
me 6700 per acre yeah they told me like
watermelon is $4,000 $4,000 per acre
yeah probably that's more that this here
going be 1,600 you
said you might find something n you know
some guys that went at 350 though this
year you know I I I have a very
interesting question if they they they
told me but up here on a Mesa you might
get it for
600 oh why what is the difference
they're U they don't put sprinkler
system with a drop- down
nozzle it's a Sprinkle below the head
the canopy of the crop so it it Waters
the plant underneath the head but
spinkler below the head sprinkler is
right right on the on the on the ground
or it's not touch yeah 4 in 6 in off the
ground or something like that it's not
touch the they call it like dripping
yeah it's not really but it's it's just
low it's drop nozzles they call it a
drop nozzle since since when they use
this a couple years
ago cuz before they were set up they'
sprinkle they'd come down and sprinkle
over the canopy yes so you would have
your pivot out there and the nozzle
would come off like this and it would
spray water like this and then the plant
would be right here
and what what what is the problem well
there you put water on the head on the
grain oh then it's too dry yeah uhhuh
see you'll put you'll be still
irrigating at this you'll irrigate it
40% one more time at least yes yes you
probably irrigate one more time then but
you got to be pulling water off because
you're at maturation or whatever percent
you're going to have you got to pull the
water off but but you would say you say
that when they make like not dripping
when they make the sprinkle so low 6 in
and what's doing with the Ved which is
dry already and it falls down on the
ground it doesn't Lodge usually that
won't Lodge up there what means Lodge
fall over it doesn't fall over it
doesn't fall over not up there on the
Mesa even if it comes to wind well it
have to be an awfully big wind what it
have to be a a hurricane wind yeah and
the wind doesn't push it down it would
then 100 mph wind might throw it
down 100 m hour but but like like normal
30 m hour winds and 20 M hour winds
aren't going to do it
even even the dry even the dry well if
it's dry they quit watering it if if
it's dry they quit watering it now you
may have an occasional plant break over
but you're not going to have a whole
field lay over
flat no I'm talking again because you
say before you could have one one part
of the Wheats could be moisture and one
part could be dry since when it could
start to play this game since since how
many weeks before the harvesting it
start it's could it's could it's it's
could reach the level that some that a
part of the Wheats is dry already it's
lower than 10% how many weeks before the
harvesting I don't know depend on your
field depend it could be like three
weeks before the harvesting should begin
some vs to become the dry level maybe
not six but well you're going to have
areas in a field even in theow in the
river bottom that has some sand streaks
that go through it they're going to
mature two weeks before the rest of the
field two weeks or three
weeks and this and then you get up there
that's not flat it's rolling 6% slope
Rolling Hills you do have low spots and
you have higher spots the low spots Stay
Green the higher spots get
mature and and in this three weeks they
they don't put any water there sprinkles
so they probably do sprinkles they have
to do sprinkles if not if it's really
green the fun parts that field are
pretty green yet they'll put some water
on then this this is the question again
how it's possible you know in New York
we run this problem because the whole
field gets together it's but here
because the the because the nature here
it's it's it's like it's like you said
and how it's possible to make sure
especially especially if they if if they
Le this field because usually when the
RAB see a problem he don't take it but
if they lease it and they have to pay it
somebody told me you know Mr you know
you know RAB go ahead and sell it off
you know Isa yeah you know last night
he's he he's leading the whole thing he
told me that they leas it and they have
to take it and I I I I asked him how
it's possible if you come here because
you don't have the rain but it comes out
it's ended up that you have much huge
major problem more than than in places
where it's raining you know one place it
might work for you too I don't know is
said about Idaho is a place where it's
not raining in the in the there's
there's a place up there called um
H it's almost as dry as here it's in
Montana
actually can't remember the name of the
place now but it I spoke with somebody
in t out here just for the vacation they
have a h huge amounts of fields in in in
Montana Montana can be dry too at
certain times it's almost like you need
to have four
Productions Jersy South Dakota or
Minnesota Montana and Idaho Idaho maybe
all maybe one of those would not get any
rain on some would not get any R any
rain on this season and and how how
about this problem what you say that a
part could be mature and a part could be
yeah you're going to have some of that
too because most of that's rolling
ground 6% slope 4% they would have the
same problem as here yeah you just
wouldn't harvest the low spots you'd
take the high spots and you'd go around
and Mark and harvest the mature spots
and leave the rest and they'd go in
there with their combine afterwards and
harvest it all and put it in a grain bin
but you mentioned before that this could
be un on the same plan one p this means
you cannot be what happens though when
you get up north further when you have
moisture in the air you does moisture
doesn't
disappear you mean mat in Idaho yeah
there is this this problem is easier
than here yeah it's more salt because
your moisture is going to end up at 11
or 12% uhhuh but 10% grain is low in
those areas but he he he that's wet
grain
and here it seems that this problem is
not is not is not resolved 100% can't
you can't resolve you can't be 100% you
can't resolve it you're going to have
low I we've tried it two years in a row
and by the time we get done we had stuff
that was at 6% 7% moisture I understand
and when they when they Mill it it
shattered it broke it didn't do right
and that's what happens with grain when
you don't temper it to that moisture it
does not Mill correctly you don't make
flour correctly you kind of shatter all
the crystals the starch
granules you shatter them it's like
taking an egg and or uh something and it
explodes and what you really want is
those starch granules to be together
when when uh when you mentioned break
break the the the the vs it's it's it's
I I have they talk about this with with
the dust here in you you have a a big
dust problem sometimes in the year is is
very very high dust like thousands feet
in the it's just from from July and
further but uh also during during the
winter season you have just little
little dust you have all yesterday I was
driving in in in in in Tucson even it
summertime you have dust storms all over
yeah but but now it's winter you don't
have as many it was it not as many but I
saw like I think it was like 20 mph wind
yeah and I had see those big dust devils
in the sky that go up to 1,000 ft too I
I didn't saw that big but I saw regular
those fly right like it could cover
every car it could cover I I had the
farmer there uh he told me that that he
have it usually he told me that that and
also by the way I buy oranges and
grapefruit and they said that it's a I
went by a store to say it's it's planted
here in Arizona when I take out the
orange it was it was Dusty really dusty
and I just lick it with my I just lick
it one little lick and then I chew it I
I I it cracks between the teeth
really and he told me that this this
happens here all the time he told me
it's not just from the big the big ones
is a huge problem but washed they have
to all be washed it's all be washed but
the problem is in the v cannot wash it
and I ask him what's going to be also I
ask you what's going to be after after
the the the combine works works with the
wheat well what happens that you need to
have a wheat that sits with the gloom
and the lemon the Paleo that cover that
kernel the straw the straw yes okay
there's some of them that are completely
covered yes but some get open by the end
some of them right here they start to
crack like half cracks little tiny cck
the CLE sticks out the end the candle
sticks out then that that what the
farmer was holding me and then this
means when when it comes to this stage
then because the dust is so fine it goes
in and the other thing is water goes in
too then water and this means that that
the dust sticks there
yeah and and besides this it comes out
that not only the not only how you call
the Shell St how you call the lemon
ailia lemon
ailia lemon is the flat part M kernel on
the top the Pia covers the back the back
and what means straw what you call straw
the straw this is the straw it's part of
the that's chaff this becomes chaff and
the straw is a stock the chaff is the
closest part to the to the K and this
Chef is by the end it's cracked and the
Kel even sticks up which it means not
only it's not secured from the dust but
it goes in and it keeps to sit in there
with the moist it sticks there which
it's impossible to get rid of it and but
he explained me yes clar was his name he
explained me not only this he told me
even if it just whatever it's under St
from outside when the combine breaks it
and he he blow it he cannot blow
everything even pieces of the straw of
of the
chef he bring me weeds he show me it's
full with pieces on the on the chef he
told me if this stays there then
positive that do stays there it's
impossible to tell for the combin to
take who you talking to Tom Tom Clark
Tom two two people Tom cler and
Gary
them both t g g then I have I have I
know I have it I have it here in
business
card know I would like to make picture
from from you and me then I go back to
theab they need prove that I was here
then they want to decide exactly what to
do this by bring this film um Clark is
these two
people the kind of have it on a paper
before I came and make appointments with
them oh Gary Dean okay yeah I know de
yeah I know who they are both of them
tell me they take from you the yeah
they're they're good they're good people
he have he told me 1,800,000
pound he have 300 acres but he have much
much more yeah Tom Clark he actually
raises barley for us too how much you
have how many acres I don't even know I
don't know how big he is I have a
Salesman in Cass Grand that deals with
both of those his name is Fred
Frasier so you might be dealing with
Fred over there whom Fred Frasier who
works for me not yet maybe maybe you
know he's a Salesman stuff and he works
with both of those guys on our our stuff
on our we can you write down his name on
the phone number when I go back to
Tucsan I should meet him well he's in
Cass Grand where Cass Grand how far from
tcan about an hour sun it's between he
and Tuan mhm maybe I will see I will see
to go to him I will call him and make an
appointment 528
560 the same a as T yeah 520 but that's
my guy over there that's this is your
yes yeah Fred
Frasier old crotchy man about 62
65 but he's still at
work about the Dust is the problem
because they told me that that the
strongest part from the so because it's
come up to the surface all the time and
the do which you get airborne it's there
is the strong the do which flies this
the the salt is fine salt when the dust
is flying it's dust the salty dust this
is the problem because it dries then
they call it real Salt mm yeah it is you
got a crystal in you got salt you got a
salt crystal from this dos which is
flying in the a is a salt crystal what
what it means well that's what I mean
it's it's come out of solution it's not
dissolved anymore or dissolve salt it's
actually dried back down it's
crystallized it's real Salt you mean
it's real Salt how you call table salt
also Crystal yeah that's a crystal then
is the same salt like table salt well
you know it's not the same sodium your
table salt is sodium or sea salt yes
okay sodium you can have potassium as a
salt um sodium is a salt you have other
salts too but most of it sodic I mean a
dark the dark Fields I mean the dark
ground like we have here it's called
sodic soils black Alkali with salt and
you have the light soils that are white
which they call those white alkaline
which are saline type soils okay so
they're all salt it's all you know you
you know what what it's make me that
there some people asking me you all
taste it you taste salt that's but how
come what is the Taste from this salt
when it's real crystal like like you
call Salt taste it as a salt Sal it's
just like a salt cuz I was confused till
up up till today I was up till now the
crystal that you have in the dust and
let's say if you it's a lot smaller I
understand it's very fine they explain
it about you know sea salt crystallized
is very large yes it it's just keeps
attaching itself yes it makes a big
Crystal crystals are a multitude of
molecules attaching themselves to make
crystals bigger and bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger yes but here in
the soil you have the water it starts
drying back you have that Crystal
starting to form it forms as long as
there's water there once the water
disappears it stops then you start
moving it tumbling around it breaks the
wind picks it up it breaks it gets finer
and finer and finer and finer and finer
and finer it gets to be a fine dust but
the C crystal salt it's a salt you can
take a salt shaker and you can go like
this across to with a
knife it grinds up to a smaller Crystal
like like french fry salt yeah french
fry salt is the same thing as this it's
like a real real F it's thin it's
thinner as flour yeah touch it yeah so
that's what that's what happens and I I
also see the same thing when when when I
buy a soul snow in the bag which is
really big stones but I take just in my
hand crystal salt but even there when I
when I take a handful of this and I
throw it to the snow yes it get a real
dust also a very fine dust and when I
taste it it's sharp is very then you say
when you taste this dust which is going
in the dust here the dust problem it's
real Salt you tast it's not all salt
there's a clay in there too but it'll
taste salty it's Clay and salt and the
salt is real this is the first time I
hear it you taste it already well it's
you know you got when you go into this
you're but everybody know that it's a
real Salt taste I think so but but you
know for sure well that's interesting
but see salt is salt salt is salt sodium
is sodium sodium is sodium then you say
table salt yeah table salt sodium by the
way sodium is the hardest part the
sharps the sharp part from the salt have
sodium and you have and what is the
other kind well you have uh potassium is
a salt too potassium yeah sodium is is
is the strongest part of the salt Y and
it's um well you add things to Salt you
add IOD Sal to to to correct things and
you can add but you think I think 200
years ago they didn't they didn't add I
sea salt doesn't have it SE salt doesn't
have it no then this sodium is like it's
the same strong like sea salt it comes
from the same Source I'm guessing do
they call sea salt I guess they call sea
SE salt sodium I I don't know I use sea
salt for cooking but I guess I I make
the Assumption it's still sodium it's
culture officers they told me that
sodium everything is sodium sodium is
the strongest part yeah see potassium
dissolves more and it's not necessarily
travels as well and actually it's a
micronutrient for the plant potassium
it's needed to potassium is not so sharp
it's not so strong like sod it's a very
mild very sodium is the sharpest from
Every
Soul strongest flavor yeah I guess
there's a couple other things like
Alkali salts and stuff like that I don't
know if that's yes I read I read about
it I don't know if it's s sodium that
might be something else when I have this
these articles in front of me I and and
I and and I spoke to the officials I
asked them everybody told me that sodium
because the rabis asking me maybe sodium
is just sodium I tell the him it's it's
why I say just sodium because you see on
every on every every snake package you
have sodium I told them that's the
reason because it's so strong and they
don't want you you should is the
preservative it's that's why they put it
there because they they they want to be
careful you shouldn't you should know
about about your D they don't mention
alkaline and and and potassium because
that wouldn't hurt you that's right but
sodium going to hurt you I thought well
and they use such large amounts of
sodium in all the canned goods and the
shoot supermarkets and all the pack
because that does preserve it keepsi it
keeps this because it's strong it's
strong and it and that's what I explain
them in the beginning they was laughing
because no nobody else beside me beside
me pick up the phone and talk to the to
the offices like I did but I told them
you don't know you're mistaken and
because if if I hear it from you you are
a farmer you are very very very very
deep in this field this is this this is
this is the most important information
for me the most trustable information
yeah so we do have high sodium here
it happens I mean that's just the
environment the nature he have it in the
nature but because I I explain them like
this as long you have it in the nature
it's in the water it's in the soil it's
not accumulate which is not how you call
it it's not separated but once it's
separate because it it came from the
water and the heat separates it then you
have already by The Roots Real Salt and
when it goes in from Real Salt it's not
like you have in New York and in other
places which is not accumulate real
solve by The Roots right this is the
only difference from from Human other
places but still they want to go around
and around to see how they come up with
a 100%
conclusion because they want to come
here they want to come here for sure
want to come here because there's no
rain but they but they also want to be
secure because it's like like like like
like we mentioned before it could be
ended up that it's much more
problems if you to be successful here
you need to bring your Wheats that you
like out here in tes them you need to
bring the varieties or the types of
Wheats that work well for you back there
hopefully they aren't all winter Wheats
that they're more they did it already
the other did it already and none of
them came back the same no this like a m
was so hard to chew it I think the heart
don't have to do with the dur because
the heat the reason why that they
explain me the other Farmers why they PL
dur because dur needs a lot of heat and
that's what you have here but the other
thing you might want to look at you
tried you've had you've been basically
trying Soft Red Wheats right I don't
know exactly what kind I'm not familiar
but I I just chew it and I I try it it
was really
hard really hard I want to look at a
bunch of soft white Wheats they did
everything I I to I I took the beeds
from them I I never planted I took the
beeds from them and I chew it I chew it
I chew it a while it's got so small
chewing it and it's never gets stick
stick together that's that's the flow
the flow yes the what they make it never
sticks together it never sticks to
that's why I see by the flow it's pour
when they pour it in the other in the
other pale it falls like a very dry
scent but they have some CST you need to
talk to somebody about the starch
crystal that's been shattered you need
to figure out another way to Mill that
wheat they they know they know already
how to do it they make mat I just wonder
what's the difference why why but now I
know because heat it's so dry Dr and Al
also could be somebody told me that it's
salt because salt when it's sharp you
know when I don't think that's the
reason for holding it I don't think
there's enough salt in there to cause
that problem because you also take off
the seed coat you take that seat coat
off right or are using all of it what
the seat coat the kernel the brand on
the outside no no no they don't take it
off that's all in there yes it's all in
there we grind it together we not strip
It Off like like they make for for ey
bread for white no no no we M we Mill
everything together the whole
kenel and then we sip it but after
sipping it's not it's not a very fine we
have we have the number how how much to
sip but after sip you can see right and
much of the of the shell from the weeds
it's there much of the shell which it
means all the do which came in which it
was sticking to the kenel and plus was
on outside on the che on the CHF which
uh which the combine cannot guarantee to
take it out they're not designed for
this especially this weed because they
don't watch the veds I think they bought
a cleaning machine too small cleaning
machine to get the chaff out the combine
no
the
Henry Henry CL the the not not the
farmers the
rabbi n to clean the Beats to get the
chaff out I think they bought one of
those the CHF yeah but after this after
this they could be guarantee the whole
dust going to be
out no it's impossible everybody told me
so you can't never get a some of that
dust going to tie up to the kernel it's
going to tie up to the Kel first from
because it's get wet and it sticks there
and even the dry dust you can be sure
such a fine dust you should get rid of
it and not only this because you still
have much pieces from the chef this
shows that even pieces which is much
bigger than a regular
salt stays there because this is this is
the machines Are Not Angels it's it's
impossible that's the problem but
uh you know they have to calculate they
have to figure all this and then they
going to decide uh how how to work it
out sometimes it could be they have they
have a system from 708 what they do in
New York they know the time went to
harvest it even if it's rain two days
before it's get dry off they know this
is good I wonder I wonder if
um I wonder if like I me it' be
expensive but getting out of this such
because the Arizona heat is so harsh I
mean Saudi Arabia Egypt is hot Africa is
hot but not so dry but not so dry and
not so hot like this it's more like New
Mexico what kind heat is New Mexico is
about 105 degree temperatures here we're
at 100 18 and 120 degree temperatures
and how is Saudi Arabia is is 105 and
New Mexico which is 500 miles to the
east of here where they raise wheat also
and they don't it's 105 you said yeah
it's 105 but you can get up on the high
plains of New Mexico don't have any
rains showing up from July or from
uh May and June there
either okay they don't have any rain is
showing up that's when their Harvest is
in May and June and their temperatures
are more like 95 to 100° but they're
about 4,000 FT elevation but they're not
really Mountains they're just high high
desert okay it's a high desert area but
that area may be a better place that
would actually and most of that's well
water there is there is rivers over
there and how deep is their BS I don't
know that's is like thousand ft there is
it also deep
uh I don't know how far they're they're
under the Ogawa aquifer which is a very
large it's the aquifer of water that
starts in uh South Dakota and comes all
the way down to South Texas it's a big
water supply and they pump they explain
me that because it's so deep this means
it's the water has got RIT of the salt
the salt goes away it's it's not goes
there but that might be an area I guess
what I'm trying to get back when you get
back into Israel they're are dry spots
too but they aren't and they're hot but
they aren't so
and they explain me what you saying now
for Saudi Arabia they told me this what
you say here it's hot and dry hot
combined B together it's very hot and so
dry this is the only place in the world
but it's so yeah it's interesting Egypt
it's hot but it's not 125 degrees hot
it's like 100° hot or 95 degrees hot
it's hot but it's not so hot like and
here is at 125 I've seen
127 12 7 de and in Egypt is it only 100
yeah and how is what makes so they say
they say of the of the places in the
United States it's kind of close to the
Middle East area is New Mexico New
Mexico State University sits in Los
cruus New Mexico of any of the
environments in the United States that
environment is more like over there
matter of fact New Mexico State
University has large has
buildings over there in the middle East
with the
university in that just for research I
mean they're just like sisters I mean
they they have sister University type
stuff yeah so I've I've talked to people
about this that that that's maybe an
area for you to actually do production
in and they have drip irrigation so you
don't even sprinkle it it's all W
watered underneath the ground underneath
the ground under a tube not even six 6
in under a tube tube buried 10 in below
the soil surface or a foot below the
soil surface and it Waters from the
ground
up 10 in below the surface of the soil
but why not making here this kind this
type irrigation because that's a limited
water source over there uhhuh and and
maybe also because he is more hot that's
why yeah but there is some drip here but
most of it's on top most of it's on top
now again what you're saying is that
even in Egypt and Saudi Arabia is cooler
than here because there is like 105 and
is 125 and
127 and the dry it's heat is more dry
what makes it more dry what is the
reason there just no
water you know where we're sit when the
sun comes over when the when the sun
comes to the South the rays are so
Direct on us the water supply is yeah
we'll get some moist rains or or storms
coming out out of Mexico but that's in
September August and September otherwise
in July when you start talking April May
June and July all of our winds come out
of the North and there's no moisture
there wow it's all desert and how much
name they how he is all desert and how
much name they have in Saudi Arabia and
in Egypt oh not very much here you have
like 2 in how much you have there I
don't know but it's not very much like
five like six they got the the the Nile
that's the Nile is the big thing there
for Egypt and all that and the Nile
brings a lot of moisture now s Arabia
doesn't have any rain there's a lot of
they're
pumping yeah they're dry and they're
pumping all their water over
it's recharged out of
turkey then how come Saudi Arabia have
more moisture than he if they have
nothing well they don't necessarily have
so much moisture for se but they don't
have the heat I mean it's hot but it's
not that hot then combining is your
figure is that here is the the hotest
and I look I look more towards Israel
which is more of a a mild climate it's
got DES in Israel they have more than 20
in St yeah but they'll have rains you
know but there's some dry areas really
dry areas too I I I told for the rabbis
if they find that they ask what's doing
in Israel I told them if they find in
Israel the same type irrigation like
here because they have no rain it's
going to be the same problem I think
maybe maybe but like you said they have
like you said because all the factors
came out that he is the driest he is the
saltiest place in the world yeah that's
why I'm saying one really needs to look
go to New Mexico State University and
talk to
a there's a guy over there that you you
can talk to the New Mexico crop
Improvement
Association his name is can't remember
his name Terry you have a number from
then I think I do but you might want to
talk to him and talk because there's
some Growers there they have some small
acres and it's drip
irrigation um you're probably going have
to buy the crop just like you have uh
you're going to want to get out early in
June that's when you want to get out if
you can you can have Los cruus New
Mexico or you can go on up towards
Clovis and portalis areas there too
there's just they harvest only in June
the wheat usually comes off in Jun June
over there here were June July and a
June July and then they
planted January January that's good yeah
in January I would like to have their
their address their number something I
remember what his name is uh it's in New
Mexico is it Las crusis New Mexico it's
right on Interstate 10

somebody that called out yes that's good
I should tell uh there was a guy that
called out of new me out of New
York uh probably in
December it was a rabbi they called I
don't think it was you somebody called
me and I tried to find some Growers over
there at that time no I was not yeah but
they were and I said you know you need
to try New Mexico and he said well let
me talk to some I tried I tried to get
some guys that were interested in it
when I called I spoke to Hank to
Hank what's it was the last year I I I
wondered because he gave me all the
information and then I asked him uh but
but then then I couldn't contact him
anymore he told me that that the other
group they take they take uh we

with you and they don't want he should
talk to somebody else you know somebody
we we haven't done anything like this
and I don't know that I've gotten kind
of kind of pretty busy on some other
projects yes yes but I turned it over to
Hank if he wanted to do he could do it
on his own what to do the
production tank AA to raise wheat if
somebody wanted to raise wheat for him I
just if he want to want to raise weed
for he can do it on his own but I wasn't
going to get involved cuz I wasn't I was
too busy to to over it he and then then
I think he ended up moving it off to
some guys on the Mesa he got busy on
some projects and so I don't have i'

thing you're doing he told me that he
answered me everybody do his everybody
have his own
tricks he put a nitrol which ties a and
then they flush it out Somebody explain
me by the by the full Moon by whatever
it's tricks not nobody knows this the
farmers they the farmers they sit here
it was born here they doing this all the
years they know they find out what to do
to get which which which it which it
means the sun is is wonderful for the
plants but they create Souls that's why
you got to work for this yeah this is a
brutal area I mean it's if you could
find a crop that would grow well from
June through
September they just love lots of heat
and all you had was heat you know with
just a little water you would have a
gold mine here because there's not very
many things that grow very well here
during that period there just nothing
it's too hot it's too hot yeah like you
said it's the hottest place on the world
yeah the hottest and one other place is
Death Valley and that's
in in uh the Grand Canyon Death Valley I
think Canyon yeah Death Valley there's
less rain there and it gets hotter but
that's it's the only place and they PL
something there nothing because it's
it's too hot already even they have the
sun of ho a it's there a lot yeah that's
why they call it Death Valley because
nothing lives there death what is happen
if they if they if they plant it it's
not it's no water yeah just all it's not
growing got to be a cactus of some sort
Cactus is is is
growing growing there from on its own
this is Cactus and also dates dates
three no no no date trees no date only
Cactus how how come the cactus is is is
well gr you know just CU it keeps just a
little moisture it's it drinks the mo
protected it doesn't evaporate very much
so what moisture it pulls out of the air
pulls out Gall it just stores it uses it
really really
slow it doesn't grow they won't grow
very fast yes cuz they just don't have
and how many how many years this stays
on the on the on somebody told me 70
years yeah yeah yes and yes it's a soft
thing I think if you go with if you push
it strong you could break it yeah you
think so but you know like the like the
SW cactuses the tall cactuses that are
only found in Arizona yes yeah that have
the arms yes I saw that a l those many
of those things are hundreds of years
old because if they say it takes to make
one arm to make a plant come up to make
one arm is over 50 years just to get
that and then each arm after that takes
about another 50 to get that I saw three
or four I saw oh yeah so those are a
couple hundred years old or better and
it looks
fresh yeah but you can see when the wet
season when there's wet seasons and dry
seasons cuz when you start looking up
the the they'll constrict like this and
then they'll come back out like this yes
yes I they go then they'll go like this
again every time they constrict it's a
dry dry year you you see on the marks on
the you could see from on the weather
from the years and I I saw holes that
they told me that the birs make the host
to drink water a cactus Ren to drink the
water cactus R goes in there and digs
away to drink water out of it and stuff
and they also make a nest in there and
it's does it go up go down they call it
the cactus shoe the ren goes in there
and digs out and makes a nest and then
the plant seals that off to protect
itself doesn't lose its water and it
makes a perfect solid little incased
home there for the even even with this
Hol with this with with this with this
with this caves it's not it's it's not
break down it's not fall down no because
inside there it's a bunch of rebar yes
it's full it's full like like insulation
yeah rebar fiber that holds it up and
then in between this fiber there's
little Corky areas that hold yes yes but
it's it's it's it's like a soft kind of
well it is soft it's pliable it can
move yeah but if you push it you cannot
break it you see no it's pretty deep
roots are pretty far down and if if
somebody hit it with the with a car you
over but they're protected too you can't
destroy it it's a I mean I mean
accidentally yeah accidentally you can't
go out and harvest them you can't go out
and hit one you can't go out and take
dig one up
it's because because the government
government yes but I mean everybody
stealing them out of the deserts oh
taking them you're not allowed to take
it from the desert because it makes nice
the desert they want to keep the state
proper State now if you own your desert
land out there you can take I understand
I understand that's interesting
thank you so much I would like to make
now some pictures to see but but by the
sign from your company okay that's fine
together from both of us that's how I
get I get to show proof for the rabbis
see is out there she thank
you
