Grower mixes TV production with almond farming. Frank Azevedo "always wanted to own a TV station." Eight years ago, the Modesto area almond grower made the leap.

He may not have enjoyed farm life, but he spent plenty of time in the orchards and vineyards helping his father with the chores, learning the almond-growing business.
