Farm Table
The growing success of Nuts: Bruce Haley, owner of Haley Farms, is a leading producer of Pecan obtained through hard work and knowledge decisions Business
Bruce's family has always been linked to agriculture and the church. His father used to grow alfalfa and cotton on his farm on the outskirts Roswell, New Mexico. He learned a strong work ethic on The Farm, and how to work ethically in the church. After high school, he attended the Technical Vocational Institute in Albuquerque and received a degree in architecture and civil engineering. Soon after, he took a job at a uranium mine as party chief of the survey. "I really loved the work but did not care about the people who were working at all."
One weekend while visiting family Roswell, Bruce joked with his father about being hired again on the farm. "The next day, my dad called and offered me a job. So I turned in my notice and returned to Roswell. "Bruce's father had discouraged her six children on the farm, because it may work hard." The only reason I really considered again was because my father began planting walnut trees. I saw real potential in that market, and also provided I was allergic to alfalfa! "
Bruce recognized potential growth areas in business and marketing from the garden of his father hired him soon after. In the 80 Bruce asked if he could start managing the farm in exchange for 20% of gross sales contributed by nuts.
Bruce had a lot of new ideas, one of the most profitable was to hire its equipment to other farmers and / or others with walnut trees. "We began to notice that our trees are crowded together, so I bought a blade capable of transplanting trees every adult trees at a time, then the team hired to other farms so that they could do the same. People with only one or two crop trees such as pecans wanted more number of trees so that our contract with them shaking machines. It was a good business, we helped them and they helped us. "It also helped producers with only a few trees by creating a buying station where people in the community could sell their nuts with it.
Unfortunately, Bruce deals adroitly handled commercial and common sense out of the box for the use of its assets, including international expansion, could not save him from one thing to all farmers must fight: time. "It is possible that a hail storm completely destroyed the crop that has invested tons of money in. When cotton could only replant and start over, but you can not do that with the trees are taking care of the harvest of next year. "Being late or early freezing can affect the production of the trees. There have been years when the farm just brought 60,000 pounds of nuts, and which when picked up to 800,000. "We just pray to God and accept what He sends us. We can not put the nuts from the trees; He does. So if he sends to freeze and destroy our harvest this year, then he will pay us some other way. "
Ironically, hail Haley Farms is something that is better prepared to face. Bruce and his father designed a unique system that releases bursts of sound into the atmosphere designed to break the pieces hail before reaching the ground. "We're not exactly sure of the effectiveness of hail cannons are, but what makes us feel good knowing that pop out on the field when the weather is bad. "They are also well equipped to make effective business by strong engineering relationships: "I live by the motto that if two people come away from a deal with a smile, then it is a good business, but if a party feels cheated, you should return to negotiating table until everyone is happy. "
If you ever have the privilege of opening or cracking nuts Haley Farms Mountain States for you, chances are that you also leave the table with a smile.
