Logan, glad you received the cultivator teeth. I figured they would be better used by you than sitting in my shop. Instead of throwing out those imperfect tomatoes, maybe you can sell them as canning tomatoes. That condition is called green shoulder (although my mother used to aptly call it mustard top lol). The red pigmentation production is affected by the heat when the temperatures are around 90° or higher so those tops will never turn red, but the rest of the tomato is usable for making canned tomatoes, sauce, salsa etc. That does mean there is a fair amount of waste to them, but at least if you sell them as canners, they're not a complete loss and people can get some use out of them.
Nice to see a smart knowledgeable, young handsome man as yourself working and running such a large farm business with your family ! Very cool to watch your videos ! Keep up the good work ! Awesome job ! You are the American farmers !
The tomatoes plants looked great.you are right your tomato problem is heat. Ive been planting more than 40yrs. I live in Arizona our temperatures are normally from 100 to 118 but time we've had even 122F I just pulled my tomatoe plants out and another round.
I always enjoy your videos Logan, your always so busy, all of you are. I often think how does anything grow in your rocky soul, but it does and it thrives, it baffles me. As always wishing you and your family the best, until next time take care. Caio
These Tomato 🍅 Plants are Loaded. Ever consider making, jarring and selling Salsa ? I never make Salsa with Perfect Tomatoes 🍅 because there is NO reason to. 🤔👍
The tomatoes w/the yellow shoulders are likely affected by sun damage. It's actually referred to as 'yellow shoulder'. Also explains why the fruits underneath the foliage aren't showing this physiological disorder.
I'm glad y'all had a good day at the market Logan. Sorry about your tomatoes. We've been in a full on drought here for nearly 2 months and I'm having a lot of problems with blossom end rot in my tomatoes. I addition to no real rain, we've had several 95 plus days on top of it.
Well done and great job Logan .. and absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation documentary countryside adventure and appreciate your efforts and hard work for sharing your beautiful adventure lifestyle and I'm looking forward to more adventures from your video channel .. thanks again and have a wonderful blessing weekend !!
Please don't throw these gorgeous tomatoes just because they are not ripe to perfection... just give it away..create a small stand of free give away produce at your farm market shop, or donate them to the food bank..orphanage or any other food organisation..... they can always be used for sauces.... beautiful market with colourful produce❤.....
I ordered some of those German Ruby's green tomato seeds a few years ago. They are absolutely mouth watering. I made fried green tomatoes and people wanted second helpings. I used to buy garlic in a jar. Now I get it at the farmers market. I like to roast mine and add butter and make fresh garlic toasted bread in the oven. You are 9 hours away from me or I'd be at your farm store and load up. Nice video, thanks.
Not sure if you do this in the US but in Australia we buy odd bunch tomatoes and other vegetables there is nothing wrong with them just a little different to what everyone expects the look of vegetables should be saves on waste just an idea
Also I have an amazing secret for field heat/heat induced wilting that we can not only make a popular video about but will save your crops/make you more money
Don’t throw out give to a church or an organization that feed the homeless or food bank. People would love to also use as canning or making salsa. Please don’t throw away.
I wish we had access to a farmers market here.. we used to have one on Wednesdays at Hillcrest Mall but they don't do that anymore.. :( Don't know why they stopped, it was really busy. We have many Mennonite farms just north of me. They produce good stuff also. I miss them. If I could drive I would go up there. I prefer locally grown produce to imported stuff. I've heard it said that it is healthier to eat things grown in your area, more compatible with your body? What do you say Logan, have you heard that as well? God bless you all, you work so hard every day.
In the beginning of the video you showed how the tomatoes are doing in the greenhouse - it's bummer you have to throw them away 😕 can you sell them as they are? Maybe someone would buy them?! 🤔
Someone in my gardening group had the same tomato problem with the yellowing and top. The experts there all say it's a potassium shortage. Maybe try that out.
Your tomatoes look like they have sun scald, putting a shade cloth over the top of your high tunnel should prevent it. The sun is magnified by the plastic, much like using a mirror, magnifying glass or just plain glass. A shade cloth stops that
Yeah, that looks like typical tomato sun scald- that is a shame. I have had it happen in my small greenhouse also. A big loss because, as you say, they are not marketable- otherwise your produce looks great.
Their biodegradable quality has an important advantage since these plastics don’t have to be removed at the end of the harvest. It’s more environmentally friendly. It can be tilled directly into the soil at the end of the season.
Why do you throw away the tomatoes you could pick the top tomatoes when they are green or make hot sauce or canned sauce with the red ones you were going to throw away. Such wasye to throw them away. I'm sure you could find something to do with them.❤
Hey not trying to start trouble. I really like your videos I watch them every time they are down loaded. But I think u should re watch your last video starting at 15.30 in the video. I hope I am wrong but I think the guy put money in his pocket. I really like your video.
Thats a shame that you are throwing out a bunch of tomatoes that didn’t ripen properly, especially when there is still lots of usable flesh on each one that someone that cans would love to have. Why can’t you put a couple of fans in that high tunnel to help circulate and cool the air? A lot of high tunnel growers do that. Its better than letting a lot of your tomato fruit go to waste.
@@daveklein2826 Might be, but it’s still a big waste, when you know that there are folks that would make the most of them, like a homeless shelter or a local soup kitchen, etc. Sometimes, and as expensive as produce is for many in need, it would be nice for market farms to make gestures like that. Not saying that have to do it all the time, but occasionally they could.
Shade cloth for those tomatoes. I just had to put the cloth up on my greenhouse. I'm Northern Ontario Canada. zone 4
Many Blessings!

Very nice of you to go the extra mile and send to Logan

The cows will love the tomatoes.

Definitey want to watch you when doing preps to plant the crops. Your harvest is so bountiful.
Thank you for your generous comments! I’m glad you are enjoying my channel 😁
looks awesome lots of hard work there next time show some prices. we are in central Illinois doing on smaller scale
These Tomato 🍅 Plants are Loaded. Ever consider making, jarring and selling Salsa ? I never make Salsa with Perfect Tomatoes 🍅 because there is NO reason to. 🤔👍
Yes I would can them and t salsa or cook them down make sauce
They are farmers not salsa Makers
I thought they made stuff for their store.@@daveklein2826
ie/ tomatoes you need two large fans at each end of green one fan sucking air in one /😁😁😁fan to exit hot air
The tomatoes w/the yellow shoulders are likely affected by sun damage. It's actually referred to as 'yellow shoulder'. Also explains why the fruits underneath the foliage aren't showing this physiological disorder.
I love you starting the tractor! I have had a few vehicles that I could do that to. I can tell you were raised right! Looks fantastic!

I grow green tomatoes called Aunt Ruby. Best tomato for fried we've ever had
You are so knowledgeable
I love watching your videos
I learn so much about how you are farming your land
It’s so cool love it love you
Just awesome !
Great camera angles!
Produce looks so good! Great job Logan!

Don't throw them out, make sauce!!!!
Try putting a couple of industrial fans at one end of the high tunnel and leaving the doors open. This should help with reducing the temperature.
Great harvest and great video, all the best for you and the farm
Also I have an amazing secret for field heat/heat induced wilting that we can not only make a popular video about but will save your crops/make you more money
If you can't make a video then you have no secret
@@daveklein2826 cause my garden is little but ok I think I will make a video thanks for comment broski
Hello Logan! You always have good content but, when I see you starting that tractor down hill, I crack up remembering my hubby’s car! 😂 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Your prices at the farm market are very reasonable. The produce looks beautiful.
Don’t throw out give to a church or an organization that feed the homeless or food bank. People would love to also use as canning or making salsa. Please don’t throw away.

Welcome rain for many.😊
Aaww itss maket time. Lovelly vegetables.
Nice crop of Garlic
White wash the plastic on the outside of your green house to help block the sunlight
Then what do they do at the beginning of the season when they need the sunlight? They know what they are doing... Leave it to the professionals
Someone in my gardening group had the same tomato problem with the yellowing and top. The experts there all say it's a potassium shortage. Maybe try that out.
I wish I lived closer because I would buy from you guys
Which way of pulling out plastic was better ? Cut in half or entire sheet ?
Everything is awesome.
Shade cloth brother
Exactly what I thought
Your tomatoes have sun scald a shade cloth would help
Liked and subbed im from plains pa. Support local farms.
Thank you so much for your support & enjoying my channel 😁
Have you try the ground cover made from corn Silk?
sounds like the tractor is ready for an overhaul
❤❤❤❤
Sell those tomatoes as seconds. I’d cut the good part for salsa. Shade cloth?
Ventilation on that túnel..invest solar ..worthy

The sun is magnified by the plastic, much like using a mirror, magnifying glass or just plain glass.
A shade cloth stops that
If you don't think there all meshed up you could try a shade cloth
Ever thought about getting shade cloth for the high tunnels?
Is it possible to feed the tomatoes 🍅 you can’t use to local pigs or chickens 🐓? 👍🏼😀
12:33 Your videos are really interesting
Set up commercial fans, investment u will always have
Yeah, that looks like typical tomato sun scald- that is a shame. I have had it happen in my small greenhouse also. A big loss because, as you say, they are not marketable- otherwise your produce looks great.
Why aren't you using the biodegradable mulch? It should deteriate faster then 4 years.
Less labor every year...pretty self explanatory
Pretty self explanatory that it's a mess and obviously not going to deteriorate.
Their biodegradable quality has an important advantage since these plastics don’t have to be removed at the end of the harvest.
It’s more environmentally friendly.
It can be tilled directly into the soil at the end of the season.
@@daveklein2826 obviously you know nothing about biodegradable mulch
Ok Timmy...
Maybe you could box up some rocks and sell them at the market for landscaping stones
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Stupid comment
Severe K deficiency in the tunnel.
Shame about tomatoes. Could make sauce from bottoms but it's time consuming so I doubt you have to time fiddle with them.
I love your hat. It's great to have your neck covered
Do you take fresh food vouchers from the Pennsylvania program
Homie let me intern… not too crazy I’m not a slave but let me help and learn like 4-6/hrs/day and we potentially collaborate on other projects
Why do you throw away the tomatoes you could pick the top tomatoes when they are green or make hot sauce or canned sauce with the red ones you were going to throw away. Such wasye to throw them away. I'm sure you could find something to do with them.❤
I agree,a total waste, make some folks happy at the farmers market and give away a container of not so good ones with each container they buy, yay!
@@joanthorington3593 or give them to people that can't afford them
Not your problem..... Left in the field they make great compost
Investing in newer equipment would be more cost effective and cold do multiple jobs.
Hey not trying to start trouble. I really like your videos I watch them every time they are down loaded. But I think u should re watch your last video starting at 15.30 in the video. I hope I am wrong but I think the guy put money in his pocket. I really like your video.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
More fans in the high tunnel?
Why don't u pull up some nice dandelions cause as popular as they are these days ud make a small fortune free, and organic too
Please don’t throw them away- make sauce, ketchup, salsa, etc. They don’t need to be picture perfect for those things.
Where is frank haven't seen seen him on here in a while
He got a 9-5
😢
The 1st
what variety are those tomatoes most you see are always touching the roofs
Red deuce
What is the address of the market in pa
493 berwick hazleton highway Nescopeck PA 18635
Or give to the cows
Don’t toss
Why don’t you get a rock picker.? Jim80
Send him the money
@@daveklein2826 THEY ARE NOT THAT HIGH PRICED FOR A OLDER USED ONE. JUST SEEN ONE SELL FOR $300 AT A AUCTION

Why don’t you put some of your moldy money into that tractor
Why it’s still working
Where is Sami
Sammi is in school to be a pharmacist so she is in her rotations now and won’t be on the farm as much
How do I send secret messages? I’m in Reading and just wanna do like 4-6 hours 3 days a week, I’m fat
Tomatoes for salad! Or can the tomatoes be fed to the cows?
❤❤❤
