Today we are going to show you about the harvest of the nut.
I sell it cheap, I sell it at 115.
There are those who come to buy me and I sell them at 160.
Really, yes, because the hardest job is for those who harvest the nut.
They are the ones who are cutting all day and then peeling it.
This is its shell, where they take it out.
As it brings double protection, right? Because this is another one.
In fact, this is its flower, where the fruit is found.
Ah, you already broke it?
It is very fragile.
It has already opened, that is why it is a paper nut shell.
Today we meet Mr. Andrés.
How are you on this day?
Well, thank God and thank you for being here with us.
Thank you for welcoming us here in your house.
What do you call the place where you grow the nut?
The place here is Tasquillo, Hidalgo, the Remedios neighborhood.
The nut has been produced for many years.
Nothing more than the quality has already improved.
Now we have a nut that is a paper shell and that is very tasty.
In the farm we have 80 palm trees and if we can produce a good amount.
Our production is around 800 kilos a year.
I sell it cheap, I sell it at 115.
But there are those who come to buy from me and sell them at 160.
So with you, do resellers come directly?
The people who buy from me are people from the town.
People who know that I have good nuts and then they come.
Well, the guarantee is that they come where there is quality.
That's right.
And how is it possible to obtain a good quality of nut?
Well, it has a treatment.
Since January we started treating the nuts because it no longer has leaves.
Then there are preventives to kill all the pests.
Then, since there is flowering, nutrition is already given.
And when the fruit appears, more nutrition.
Are you monitoring continuously?
Yes, yes, the agronomist is the one who helps us.
You have a work team, from what I see.
Ah, yes, yes, I can't do that alone, but I don't.
I have about 4 employees.
A main advantage is that employment is generated here locally.
Well, yes, we serve with a salary better than a day.
A main advantage, they are in the shade because the walnut produces a lot of shade.
Yes, yes, that's right.
Is there anything else that you grow, produce, apart from the nut?
Well, this is a kind of farm.
We have animals, we have sheep, we have chickens.
We have peacocks, guajolotes.
And that's what we do at a certain time.
A little bit of everything.
Yes.
Yes, because the walnut is not all year round, it only has its season.
No, it is what we live at a certain time.
No, I don't live on the walnut, nor on the earnings.
I am retired and I have a good pension.
It's just like a hobby.
Well, yes, I spend it.
Of course, how good, how good.
And at least it lives and relates to its people at work.
It's interesting, isn't it?
Because there are people who come to a moment of retirement, but they are left alone.
And with the people of the town, because they are looking for me to take them walnuts.
I have two and a half hectares here.
Few of cultivation.
It will be one hectare of cultivation and another one and a half there in the hill.
And apart from the fact that they can take advantage of the land,
although here it is like a small tribe, but they have still managed to cultivate different fruit trees.
He also tells me that he has bees at the top.
Oh, oh, on that side, look.
On that side there are like six beehives.
And apart, the view is very beautiful.
There we have some panoramic shots that we are going to be showing our viewers on the screen.
So that they can observe a little bit of the landscape.
And we are right in front of the entrance of Tasquillo.
Come on.
As a reference.
We are going to be leaving a cover there for the characters.
Eranmi means Mount of Thorns.
Eranmi?
In Otomi, Mount of Thorns.
That means.
You still have to mention that there are many people who are known to be from Tasquillo.
And many people go to the United States, work there.
But also thanks to that, the local economy of the municipality moves.
Of course.
Although they do not have properties, they leave because they have nothing.
Yes.
And they send the money to their relatives.
And that.
The economy is very strong.
Yes.
♪♪♪
We have already passed this side because Mr. Andrés sent us directly with you.
He told me.
Any questions about plagues?
I don't know anything.
Ask the engineer.
How are you?
Good afternoon.
My name is Rubí.
I am your technician.
Professor Andrés.
Here in this.
Zunogalera.
In Tasquillo.
Thank you very much.
Now we are going to ask you the questions.
I have a question about the issue of plagues.
What are the main ones that you face here in the Nogales?
With which we have more problems are with the trips.
Suckers.
In this case, they come as a white fly.
The fruit worm.
Which is when our.
Our nut starts to turn black.
We have to work on that since it is in bloom.
And we have to do its insecticide treatment.
And also put in what are some nutrients.
What is the yellow bottle that we saw hanging in the Nogales?
They are traps for.
Exactly for the suckers.
What function does that trap have?
It attracts them.
We put a mallea that is sweet.
And it attracts all those plagues.
So that they do not damage what is the mallea of the Nogal.
That they start to stick to the leaf.
And they damage the leaf.
And they start to do like this.
For example, this.
It was damaged by plagues.
When they start like this, they start to hang.
And it is possible that if a plague is not treated.
It gets to dry a tree.
Yes, completely.
And how is it possible that many trees that are on the road.
The main one.
Here entering Tasquillo there are many Nogales that look beautiful.
How is it possible that they resist without any care.
Like the one they have here in the Nogalera.
Most of the Nogales here are treated.
Do they take care of them?
Yes, I imagine that they eat the ones at the entrance.
They look very cool.
Yes, they also have their technician.
I imagined that they just left them there.
And they gave their fruits.
It is good to clarify that.
Because when you buy the nut.
It is easy to bargain.
But we do not know that there is a person.
Who is monitoring, taking care.
Taking control of plagues.
But we just see the price of the nut.
And we complain.
Why so expensive?
As you commented a while ago with the teacher.
He told you that he had a full team.
Yes, the hardest job.
It is for those who harvest the nut.
Because they are the ones who are all day.
Cutting and then peeling the nut.
Let's see, let's show you.
How is the peeling process done?
Because if it brings the nut shell.
Apart from the shell that you know.
This is the shell where they take it out.
And the nut comes out.
As it brings double protection.
Because this is another one.
Yes, in fact this is its flower.
Where the fruit is found.
It is closed.
Its fruit is found there.
When it is born, its nut or fruit comes out.
I did not know that.
So this is part of the flower.
Exactly.
Fortunately, it is a nut.
After they do this procedure.
They tell me that it goes through a drying process.
Yes, it takes between a day and a half.
Or two depending on the climate.
If it is very hot, it takes up to a day and a half.
And it has to be dried in the shade.
Or directly in the sun.
Directly in the sun.
And in that period.
You can dry it well and sell it directly.
Yes, exactly.
It is an advantage.
We already have the data there.
For people who see and follow us.
And are interested in the cultivation of the Nogan.
So that they can learn a little.
The same if they have the nuts.
I think that with this video.
They will be able to apply the advice.
That they are being given in their crops.
Is there any advice you can give.
To the nut producers.
About care.
Or something you can add to them.
Yes, in fact.
Most of the producers.
From October to January.
They do not work the plant.
Because they say.
It is not in production.
Why put treatments.
Why put protection.
They should be given a treatment.
A protection.
For fungi.
Related to diseases.
Fungi, bacteria.
And also for different types of pests.
When it comes to the flowering stage.
Which is from February onwards.
To put what is.
Nutrition.
For the development of the flower.
So that its fruit comes out.
And also for pests.
To fight some types of pests.
We had to go with your partner Beto.
He took us to a part of the farm.
Where they had a lot of fertilizer.
It's like a fertilizer.
Yes, it is this fertilizer.
That they themselves produce here.
In fact, it is sometimes worked.
With the same nut shell.
And with the products they come to have here.
And they produce microorganisms.
Exactly.
That provide a lot of benefit for the soil.
It is what he was showing us.
And narrating a little about the process.
How they prepare it.
And that they have to ferment it.
It has to go through a fermentation process.
Where everything is put.
What is organic.
And it is worked.
And when it is ready.
It is about two months.
And they change it.
And they start to put it.
In the root of the trees.
An organic fertilizer.
And we handle it.
Both in the root and foliar.
Now we understand why you can get.
A good quality product.
We will be leaving your phone number.
In case there is a person interested.
In the purchase of nuts.
Or in some advice.
Yes, exactly.
There is any information you have.
About the cultivation of nuts.
There is something else that you handle.
Apart from the cultivation of nuts.
What is here in the ranch.
We handle what is the cultivation.
It is just our first year of pitahaya.
We also have a little papaya.
Pomegranate.
Figs, peaches.
These are what we have the most.
But what we focus on the most.
It is the nuts.
Any doubt.
You can solve it.
To get some advice.
Or to buy us a product.
That is what we are looking for.
Through these videos.
That they get to the right hands.
And get a good product.
Of a good quality.
And they take it to the door of your house.
Mrs. Rubi.
Thank you very much for your time.
For your knowledge.
And the tour that they have given us today.
Is there any greeting you want to send.
For a relative or a friend.
Who is watching through this video.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for doing us the favor.
To accompany us and make the video.
On the contrary, thank you for your invitation.
We remind you that if you have.
Some interesting activity.
And if you can make a video with us.
Send us a message to the phone number.
That is appearing on the screen.
And we go directly.
We talk about the activity.
We analyze it.
And we can go to your community.
To record and make a documentary like this.
Now we continue with Mr. Andres.
And thank you very much for your time.
You're welcome.
Is there any advice.
That you have to give.
To the people who start.
In the production of nuts.
Or they are dedicated to this.
Yes, have calm.
Because this is not overnight.
This tour is 22 years old.
Or 25.
Too much work.
You have to apply.
And investigate.
With the agronomists.
What is convenient.
To apply.
With people.
Who know.
Attend the plagues.
Because this counts a lot.
And if we need a person.
When we have a problem.
What happens when you have a health problem.
You go to the doctor.
You have the possibility.
To spread this.
It's not just throwing yourself.
And go.
You have to look.
Who knows.
Exactly.
Who knows about the subject.
And there are many people.
In this branch.
They need advice.
I tell you here.
Mr. Andres.
The information.
Where do you go.
At the hands of the agronomist.
And for what months does he work.
Or does the specific harvest.
The specific harvest.
Normally September, October and November.
Two and a half months.
Approximately.
Now it has advanced.
And why has it advanced?
Because of the rains.
This is the fruit of the walnut.
It has two varieties.
Can you tell me about them?
I have pure Western.
This is Western.
Long.
And there is another that is Uchita.
It is round.
But we did not bring it right now.
Because it did not fit.
I had.
The possibility of Western.
And pure Western.
I have a Uchita down there.
And what is the difference between the Western and the Uchita?
The Uchita.
The size is round.
Boludita.
And the flavor.
It is much tastier.
It has more oil.
It is the one they know as the nut.
Paper shell.
No, this is a paper shell.
This is the Western.
Western and Uchita are both paper shells.
And is it known as a paper shell?
Because it can be easily broken.
So what is the hard nut?
That you can not even break it by biting it.
That is the one of the people.
The big ones that you have seen.
The Criolla.
Ah, I understand.
And as a sample of it, look.
Here we have two.
And we are going to try to break them.
There is some technique that you have.
Ah, I already broke it.
Very fragile.
Look, it already opened.
That's why it's a nut.
Paper shell.
Well, Mr. Andres, thank you very much for your time.
Thank you.
God bless us.
And to the people who listen to us.
God bless you.
