Almond trees

Hi neighbours. We are new to the area and have 85 almond trees. Looking for advice on pruning, harvesting and marketing produce please.

During the past years demand and prices paid for almonds have significantly dropped. Quotations from last November can be found here https://valenciafruits.com/lonja-murcia-precios-almendras-5-noviembre-2020/

Thank you killjoy, not looking to make a living. Just a hobby and a bit of spending money.
Appreciate your reply and input.
Are you twitter?
I follow someone on there who is a Spanish farmer, think mostly fruit in the Murcia area.
It might be that he can provide an insight or suggest someone with more of an almond interest?
If you are I'll pm his details.
