Sorry for the delay. I didn't notice your last comments over the weekend so I didn't get a chance to review it. I see that #35 is now withdrawn.
#49, #55, #56 - I really like the nut/tree on these entries. I also like the "est. date" on #56. We are 1976.
#43, #42 - The shape of the meat of the nut here is pretty accurate and it's interesting how it's used.
#27, #42 - This is still my favorite font. #49, #56 seem appropriate for what they are. However, I'd be curious to see the 27/42 font in these two.
#30 - This is a great looking emblem.
#56 - This is really reminiscent of old California produce labels. Very cool. To that effect, I'd like to see what you think of putting a solid sun from #20 behind the tree and above the letters. I see it in the same color as your current round sun, coming down to Foster Ranch with California Walnuts in the same position over the sun.
After seeing so many of these with the slogans, I don't like the way "growers" sounds. I think it's more versatile as "Premium California Walnuts" or simply "California Walnuts" depending on position. Example: #49 would be better as "California Walnuts" and #42 would be better as "Premium California Walnuts".
Overall, this is very impressive.
