Here is our story. I bought this place in Aroma, In Hamilton County 3 years ago. Place has 14 walnut trees. Last year, I decided to look up who was buying them and found a guy in Kokomo who was buying for Hammons. We hauled in several pickup loads picked by hand. We then looked up picking devices and found a couple kinds. One called Baganut is like a lawnmower with a big spiked wheel that grabs the nuts and dumps them into a basket. Works great, but pretty expensive at about $299. We also found the football shaped basket things called Holts Nut Wizard. Those also work great. I can fill a 5 gallon bucket up in about 1 minute. They are much cheaper than the baganuts. A 5 gallon bucket with average size walnuts brings about .91 cents so I figure $60 an hour isn't a bad wage! Pickup truck loads vary in size, but a 2000s Chevy extended cab can haul about $120 worth with side boards. Hammons brought us out a hulling machine that takes the outer hull off and has bagging chutes. We weigh them on a certified pallet scale. We paid .13 cents a lb this year. Folks closer to Stockton MO where the company is make a little more due to shipping costs.
