Do next years peaches grow on new growth from this year or older growth?
I have this disease on my peach tree. It starts at the trunk goes up the tree. I need to know what to do with it and how to cure it.
There are two common bacterial cankers on peaches, cytospora canker: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/weeping-amber-in-trees.htm

For the last 8 weeks the leaves on my peach tree have turned yellow and are dropping off. I tried nitrogen and bug killer but I am at a loss as what to do. What is the problem and how do I resolve it?
Unfortunately I can't tell you what the problem is from a description "yellow leaves." You need to examine the leaves for things like spotting, leaf deformities, size changes, green veins, etc. While leaves simply turning yellow is a sign of nitrogen deficiency, adding nitrogen to the soil might not show a change in the leaves in only 2 months. And it's never a good idea to use a treatment without a specific pest or pathogen as target. Here's an article on common peach tree diseases that might give you an overview of what to look for: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/common-peach-diseases.htm
The best idea would be to take leaf,branch, and soil samples to the nearest extension service, where they can identify the problem and give you a solution. This link will help you locate one: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/what-is-extension-service.htm
Because of brown rot in our tree and on some of the peaches we had to pick the peaches early. Should we wash them in a mild bleach bath to kill any fungus residue that may be still on the peaches to give them time to ripen without them rotting first? Will they ripen inside if they are still fairly green? What do y'all recommend for spraying the trees to prevent this?
This article should provide help with the brown rot: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/brown-rot-fungus.htm
For an anti-fungal soak, I prefer vinegar - white or apple - a couple of tablespoons in a bowl of water, soak the peaches for 5 minutes. I soak all my fruits and vegetables like this before I eat them or cook them.
Live in Kansas. I got this tree 3 weeks ago and it was looking good. Now the leaves are falling and the limbs are turning red purple. Is this a problem or just the season?
Sometimes when you plant new trees or plants, they go into "shock" it stops growing and loses leaves. I think you should look up ways on how to care for it now that its in shock.
I'm wanting to winterize 100+ peach seeds and there is a valid process to prep them for winterizing these seeds for the coming spring. Help me, please.
Here is information on planting peach seeds over the winter:

But I am not sure that you are looking for that. Are you looking to plant them over the winter or do you want to store them elsewhere? Let us know and we can be of more help.
I have a 6 year old peacherine. All around the top of the tree a lot of the new growth is breaking off from the older wood. No sign of chewing, just a clean half-break which leaves the new growth hanging limp from the joint. Any explanations?
From your description, it could be peach twig borer: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/r602300611.html
You need to get an analysis from a professional. You could have samples examined by a nursery, university botany dept, or the master gardeners. They have loads of information and assistance available for home gardeners. This link will help you locate the nearest group:
