Thank you!

Would save your back a big bit if you had an old cart you can modify to put a platform on with a forehead rest on it to lie on your belly, and pull yourself along straddling the beds so you can plant and harvest and b prone with your arms still having push power. Saw a cart Carl Schoeder made like that over at Foxfire farm in Louisburg when they were doing strawberries.

Do you and your wife do all of the picking by yourself? If you do you are workaholics.

Nice music at the market! Fantastic rain yesterday!! I was blessed with a bit over two inches!! Of course it would take 4" to fill the cracks, ha ha! God bless you both!!

Hey from Tulsa. Love this implement. We do things a little differently in our ice cream silt loam soil growing strawberries and watermelon. We use hydraulic closing discs and find that we have to readjust them from day to day depending on the moisture content of the soil. Very little adjustment is necessary inside any single day, as long as the soil profile remains consistent. The manual discs would work just as well. Anything is better than our last bedder, which required a wrench to adjust and was a nightmare. Tool-less is the way, and Rain Flo is by far the best at this. We also don't run ours level from front to back and find we get better rear compression with the mouth of the implement higher than the rear discharge. That would likely change in different soils. We're using about 400 pounds of weight on the pan, in the form of solid half blocks made from concrete. Nice video. Hope your operation keeps working as well as it appears to! How many hp do you find you need? The manufacturer recommends at least 80, but I'm convinced more is better since we're building beds that are 9 inches tall with 5 foot plastic. Also, dang you for being a straighter driver than me. 😂 Subscribed!

You have a very nice channel here looking forward to watching all the Vids.

What variety of corn is it.

Your corn looks fantastic. Nothing beats fresh sweet corn in the summer. A good tomato sandwich is a close second. 😊

That's really neat that you got to visit their store, I really appreciate their channel and hardwork.

I must not have planted deep enough because about a third of my sweet corn is falling over or lodging...first time attempt...also the tassles are forming but i don't have any ears on it yet ? Any help ?

They do have a fertilizer application device that mounts in the Earthway seeder. Have one, seems to do the job. Like anything else, takes a little peddling around when you first start using it. If the way you are doing works out, no need to make any changes. If you could go thru and hill the corn it would really cover the fertilizer well. Like to hill when about that stage. Be waiting for your report on what you fell about your endeavor. Good luck on the growing season,

Let me know how it works for you

I will be using this idea for my own but a smaller scale for my home grows - nice video thanks for sharing : )

I hope you get a chance to give us an update in a couple weeks to see how it turns out 👍

What a great idea! I have about a 1200 sq/ft plot of sweet corn and have been side dressing with a cup and eyeballing it for years. I already did my side dressing this year but will definitely try it out next year. My corn patch is really small compared with yours but my back is in bad shape so this could help me out a lot. Thanks for the tip!😊

Nice.

Saw a video of someone spraying milk on their plants to kill aphids. Apparenty doesnt kill the beneficials. It was in a greenhouse, but probably it would work in the field if you had a cow and extra milk.

We started using a woven wire plastic fence. Works great. Must be used with ground cover or it will short out.

Green beans also help out your soil

You mentioned they’re profitable for you. I’ve found the labor so high per pound for harvesting that profit is hard to find. With 5-7 minutes to harvest a pound, that’s only 9-12lb per harvest labor hour, not counting the cultivation, planting, transport, or sales labor-or the input costs. How do you keep them profitable?

My favorite to can also! Fantastic with any meal that has potatoes, and what kind of meal would you have without them! Ha! Wish you the best at market!

Looks like that irrigation is going to be just the ticket for our weather! It really shoots the water out there nicely! Last summer was a real bear, some places, like mine, just missed the rains. I live on a hill, and it dries out pretty fast when the rains stop, and I think that every drop will be a real blessing from here on out. Weather man called for 40 mph gusts this afternoon. The hill I live on is wide open to the south and my poor garden will really get a pounding today. I hope it's not blowing quite that hard up at your place. Take care you two and I hope everything grows well for you!!

What is your roll spacing?

Potassium and phosphorus are good when cobs are on.

The bee's should help get everything pollinated

I own the same planter. My farm is close to Lake Superior. Because of weather conditions I was able to first plant my sweet corn last week. Nice idea using your planter to apply fertilizer. Please post follow-up videos on the success of your application. I'm anxious to try it on my crop when big enough. Thanks

Looking good 👍

Great video

Adr you just using the same meter and fingers as corn?

Something about this year, I guess!?! I live south of you around LeRoy and pulled a few of my Red Norlands to find them very large for this early, in the season also. Have not checked my Yukon Golds or Kennebecs yet. I don't know why I thought you lived a little farther west than you do? We used to travel to your neck of the prairie to high school sporting events, when my children played. I used to trap before health problems, but it's been ten or so years now. Hoping to muster the energy to catch a few bobcat again next late season. I sure miss it!! Have to see what life tosses my way this year. I'll get some lure from you, if I get after them again. Ed, you and Delia take care this summer and may the weather be great for the gardens!! God bless you both, Brian True

Love your videos

Welcome to my phone! Nice video!😊

What varieties of strawberry plants did you plant. I'm in Eastern kansas

My tomatoes are grown outdoors. I think the wind here in Goodland, KS takes care of all of that for me. 😊 Thanks for the video!

They hand clean that ceiling once or twice a year ... October-November might be the funnest time to go see 'em!

Veggy Boys and Girl's !!

I think storage issue is why so many places try doing you pick scenes. Really, they need good circulation and single layers on paper towels, but you can get by with 2 layers if each has paper towels between the layers. Hard to harvest for market...gotta get out early and pick...best scenario.

'When dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass. When grass is dry at morning light, look for rain before the night' is the old saying I learned as a kid.

Broyans farm is close by too...they have a you tube channel too.. Thanks for the up close and personal of the area.

nice looking field. how do you manage weeds?

IDK what is worse ....... pulling a truck load of cold muddy ones or cleaning all those strings up at the end of season ! 🤣

Love the videos

Can it do no till?

Been there ! All that worry , and it's better than you thought all night !!! Glad for yall !

Proud to call that man my cousin!!

Hey, Scott! Love your high tunnels! See you around 😊

Great work, Scott! You are an amazing farmer! Proud to have you as my cousin. Wish that I lived closer.

Hey Cuz.. It looks great!

These are good planters, I added two aluminum tanks to my planter frame to add ballast. The tanks are 100 gallon each (old sprayer tanks). So when I fill them with water it adds about 1,500 pounds to the unit.

How far apart are your rows with the mulch layer and how wide are the rows?
