- Filmed on July 2, 2024. In today's video I take you around our entire farm and show you how the vegetable crops are growing. Some are doing really well and others, not so hot. One crop is not mentioned in this video...for the past 24 years we grew this very important crop on our farm, but not this year. At the end of the video I explain why.

Of all the CZcams farmers I think you have the most healthy vegetables okay
Wow, thanks! We try hard to keep the weeds out and the vegetables healthy but it’s definitely a struggle for all of us
Your crops r all looking beautiful. Amazes me how fast things grow once that heat starts to kick in.
And, u never have to justify to us y u stop growing certain crops. U and your family work extremely hard , and what's the point of life if u can't get out and enjoy it.
Can't wait for the big harvest videos. Thx
Thanks Eric, hope your season is improving for you some now that we are in summer.
@wishwellfarms surprisingly yes, it is getting better. Some of the peppers have come back and started growing again. Tomatoes went crazy over the last couple of weeks. Peas were a write off, so thwy got replanted today. But we r finally coming into the heat and not day after day of rain. Things r looking up
आप की खेती बहुत ही बड़ी है हमारे यहां हिंदुस्तान में खेती छोटी है अपने अलग अलग किस्म की बहुत अच्छी सब्जियां लगाई है खेती भी बहुत अच्छी की है आपके यहां का सीजन बहुत आगे है हमारे यहां अभी मक्के खेती की शुरुआत की गई है
Thanks, hope you have a good season!
The way he eats corn is amazing
Lol
I am still impressed on how nice and neat your crop fields are kept and doing. I've never ate raw sweet 🌽 before but it looks real good - great video 👍
One of the greatest pleasures of being an old country boy is eating corn straight off of the stalk!
eating it raw gives you the pure unadulterated flavor of the corn...its the best way to compare differnt varieties and it's sooo good! Thanks Elijah!
@@Boldo75 that's right, as long as you can beat the raccoon to it haha!
@@wishwellfarmsI’m guessing the ground blind setup close to the trees has something to do with the raccoons?
@@Boldo75 good eye! One of my sons is a full time CZcamsr and he was filming a ground hog hunting video.
Great quality production and clean fields. Continued successes 👍👍👍
Thank you! Keeping clean fields is a constant battle!
Great video Jason ,crops look nice lot of hard work to keep everything going ,thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bill! I always look forward to Sundays to get a little r and r but Monday is looming…
Loads of work still to come Jason everything looks great.
Thanks, ready to wrap up the greenhouses and move on to field tomatoes and cantaloupe soon!
Great video. The New England.trip in October will be awesome. We are going to do a mini Presidentials hike in late September.for a week. Your Farm looks amazing. Best thing you ever did was getting out of dairy so you could have a life. Prayers for.your Dad's health. God Bless.
Thanks Becky! That will be a great hike! I will make it up there eventually. Yeah the dairy was 365, but the produce farming is much harder and more stressful but at least I get a few months of down time. Dad is slowly progressing, thanks.
Great intro hahaha! Excellent video and great info. Always appreciate your content.
Thanks Jason, I always appreciate your possitve comments!
keep the good work ! good job man !
Thanks, we'll keep it rollin!
Those rotten unset zuchinis are caused because there is no male flowers when they came on.
We would plant 1 row, a week early ahead of an acre every week.
the following crops would be loaded at the bottom of the bush ,as the male flowers were
setting them from that first row
Got some sweet corn from your stand at Worthington today (7|6) for our cookout. It was delicious.
Great to hear! That is one busy market...my oldest son runs that market with several of my employees, normally takes 3-4 people. Thanks for stopping by, maybe I'll see you there one of these days!
The farm looks great
Thank you so much!
Exactly, you also want to have a farm like that
I hope it’s a great season for you jason
I sure hope so, thannks James!
Awesome video.
thank you!
I do raised bed gardens I plant a couple of squash and a couple of zucchini plants, I was always told that if you have rotten squash or zucchini that it probably didn't get pollinated. I know that where I live in TN sometimes we just don't have the bees working our gardens and from time to time I get a nice flower on the end of my vegetable but then they grow a little then rotten. I have taken a q-tip and pollinated my flower before and it seemed to help but it is frustrating.
We don’t have any pollination issues. There are bees all of the place around our farm, but yes, I have heard that as well and can be very frustrating.
The first ear from every sweet corn patch should be eaten raw! Enjoyed the update of how things are progressing. One if the highlights of my day is spending time checking the garden plots, berry patches, and the orchard every morning or evening. It’s one of those simple pleasures of life for me. Btw, I’m guessing that bucket list trip you have planed with your wife this fall will make it worth skipping pumpkins this season.
Indeed it is and yes I can't wait until fall!
New watcher here... I think those beans had drift damage too... I live right next to several hundred acre field of alternating soy and corn field... this year corn, they spray it heavy heavy and every year I get drift damage from them. This year was no different, my early green beans in before the corn took a huge hit with drift... and the mature plants look exactly as yours and stunted. Don't ask me about my tomatoes this year 😢 they got zapped to the ground... I get lots of drift damage from them every year and they don't care about it.
Thanks so much for checking out my channel! Drift is a real problem for those of us near grain farms that's for sure! Hopfully you can salvage part of your crops this season.
could be from bean-fly untreated.
We had stunted plants in 1960s before round-up was invented.
DPI said bean fly gets in and stunts the plant, it had to be sprayed on emerging
with DDT then 7 days latter, no more bean fly , plants grew to 18 inches high.
Could you imagine spraying with DDT now a days
@@Bernie5172 Oh my!
Everything looks Great.Thanks for the update. No pickles?
Thanks! We quit growing pickels about 10 years ago, just too hard for us to keep on top of when only picking cucumbers every other day, pickels need picked everyday when it's hot or they get too fat.
@@wishwellfarms They are a pain but around here everybody prefers them over the slicers.
Hi Jason. My green beans look very similar to yours here in sw Ohio. Beans not straight either. We had the same heat you had but much less rain than you. Plants aren’t stunted but color has not been good. Our tomatoes have really struggled also. I think this is the worst they have looked in my 50 years of growing them. Not sure if it was the cool spring followed by weeks of high heat and drought but plants have not filled out and lots of flower drop I think from the hot days and really warm nights. We need a good soaking rain and cooler
days. May get that with the remnants of the hurricane forecasted to be here next week. Have a good weekend.
It seems like my first patch is like this a little each year, hopefully the later crops will do better. This crazy extreme weather we've been having is certainly not good for the crops.
My zucchini is taking a bad hit of drift this year. Zucchini should be the easiest thing to grow, but I can't get a plant to save my life this year. On a positive note, my corn silked out a few days ago. Should have some before the end of the month. I grew an 82 day variety this year, which is a little too long for me. I'm going to switch it up next year.
Hope your zukes come around, and mine too! Most of our corn is 73-77 day which is typical for most vareties, you'll be picking before you know it!
Great video! Thank you. Sorry to see all the chemtrails in the sky. They have a lot to do with crop problems.
Thanks! That was a very rare site in the sky, and never would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.
Pumpkin. Take a soil sample from those brand. Did that rain wash everything including 24d down to you. ☹️
Maybe solar eclipse?
I was going to say if you have bail that did not sell. Plant them in open spots like corners and mad spread out. Don't let them see the mulch pile.
They are an aromatic and repel bugs. Smell great and yummy.
😊😊😊😊😊
thanks for watching!
So interesting Jason. I too love to eat corn raw out of the ground. Whats the the biggest difference between field corn and sweet corn? I think most of the corn we eat is field corn like out of the can. Your thoughts?
canned corn is yellow sweet corn, field corn is for livestock feed, ethanol, corn syrup and things like that
Sounds like you need a break. Enjoy your time with your wife. 3 weeks will fly by.
I went on an over night kayak camping trip last weekend so now I'm ready to tackel the rest of this season head on! But I must admit, I can't wait for this three week RV trip this fall!
My first green bean pl a noting this year was a complete failure. Nothing came up. Have never seen it before. 😢
rough start to bean season for many of us it sounds like, but our later plantings look good so far.
would have the plants tested for chemical damage and proceed with whoever is spraying and confront them.
That would’ve been a smart thing to do, but this was many weeks ago and the Crop is long gone
what do you use on your green beans for spray? and how much thanks i really have learned a lot this year.
I put down a pre emergent of dual and command. If I do have to spray any post weed controls, I use raptor or reflex, but very rarely do I need to. 99% of the time I don’t have to spray any insecticides or fungicide.
Great video on your watermelons do you let them grow whatever the plant puts on or do you pull some off
We let them all grow, have never pulled any off and have never heard of any commercial growers doing that...could be an old timer gardening trick to get bigger melons though
Could be dicamba drift as I hear there are some new gmo versions
Yes, I believe most of it came from 2,4-d and Liberty, which is sprayed on a lot of the round up ready crops on soybeans and field corn
Hi Jason, how do you keep the birds from damaging your sweet corn when it is ready to harvest? Thanks
We use avian bird soap from a company called avian enterprises and spray it on the silks a few days before it’s ripe, the birds don’t like the smell/taste and it works pretty well. I also have large helium balloons with pictures of eyes of birds of prey on them but have not used them yet.
Thanks, I greatly appreciate this, I’ve been having difficulties with birds, will give the spray a try. Thanks
Are you going to either mulch or compost your tomato plants after you finish with the harvest?
Any thoughts on moving to regenerative farming and not using all those chemicals?
Nope, not at this point in my life. I've heard everything there is hear about regenerative and organic growing from confernences, seminares, podcasts, other growers and have implemented some of these techniques into our operation but for some crops it's just not feasible for me and I'm not going to try to change my entire operation when I'm nearing the end of my career...if the next generations wants to run with it more power to them. This is all much easier in theory than practical aplication, yes I know it is being done, but I am a one man show with only so much time and money and change takes a lot of both.
Not necessary
"Keyboard warriors " 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
how is there a lawsuit actively paying out victims of cancer from roundup right now, & they are still able to use round up?
Thousands of farmers and millions of acres get sprayed with roundup every year multiple times, it will never go away.
@@wishwellfarms why wont farmers boycott it. Its that simple right?
@@MindyBradie farmers don’t want to get rid of it, it’s the main non selective weed herbicide we use to control all the weeds.
Was that a camo blind in your field?
Good eye! My son was filming a ground hog hunt for his youtube channel...www.youtube.com/@blockethoutdoors
