The high speed world of broccoli farming was really interesting the planter works really well the boys did really well to stick with it thanks for sharing it with us 👍
Reminds me of days years ago pulling weeds out of peanuts. Two adults with four or five young boys between us walking across the field. Spent as much time breaking up dirt clod fights as pulling weeds.
My Dad stopped planting green beans in the garden in late July. Believe me, we ate plenty of green beans in the northern part of the South! I never thought about planting carrots as a fall crop, but I have eaten plenty of turnips and Kale in the fall and winter. Not a complaint, I really like both of them. Keep at it, friend!👍
Spent a many of day on a two row transplanter when we grew tobacco. Don’t miss it too much either! 😆 Might want to leave them goobers in the ground this coming week to see what this hurricane/storm is gonna do. Models are now showing it going almost over the top of you.
@@phillipmorgan5822 thanks for the info. We made several adjustments on it throughout the day. I believe it would have worked better on roto-tilled ground. There was some hard clods and loose corn stubble debris we were fighting.
There was still a few tobacco fields in Bulloch county when I was at Georgia Southern. As far as I know, it has never been grown commercially in Clay county.
@@PatrickShivers I only know of one farm in this area that grows "backer" now, over in Screven County. Watermelons and strawberries seem to be filling the niche
@@MarshallLanierI heard there was a significant government quota buy back program early 2000s that eliminated a lot of tobacco acreage……and then of course vapes came out and all but killed the tobacco industry.
@@PatrickShivers there was a quota buyout in tobacco just as there was in peanuts, but even before that tobacco acerage had dwindled to a fraction of what it once was. At one point in the 70a there were warehouses in Statesboro, Metter, Claxton, Reidsville, and the further south you went down around Blackshear and Jesup, tobacco was king for a long time. Then they started cutting our poundage and it just went downhill from there. It was a lot of hard work but there was a lot of money made on tobacco in south Georgia for a lot of years.
@@MarshallLanier there was a lot of money made on peanuts in south Georgia for a long time also……and then the government figured it out, eliminated the quota system, allowed 2 companies to monopolize the entire industry, and as a result the farm price for peanuts in the 2000s has consistently been 1/2-2/3s what it was in the 1970s-80s (while peanut products have increased in price) and input costs have more than quadrupled.
That trans planter looks like the planter tobacco farmers here in N.C. use . Not sure but it looks the same. Do you grow any tobacco in Georgia? I worked pulling tobacco and hanging it in the old stick barns in 1976-77 .
@@johnscurlock1204 there was tobacco grown in south central Georgia and east Georgia up until recent. Tobacco has never been grown in southwest Georgia, where I am at.
@@sirmatt6143 2 years ago I didn’t get a killing frost until 2nd week of February. Killing frost can be as early as November some years. Typically get 7-10 days a year at or below freezing temperature.
I have an old tobacco setter it needs new chain if you want you can have. But you are running way to big of tractor use the Old Ford tractor you have for yransplanting
I've recently retired but I've worked with immature grown men that wanted to shin kick like 4 graders on the job, drove me crazy, it would look like rain we'd need to finish a job and look around and they'd be at each other like preschool kids on a play ground.
Least you got young help, better than no help. Aggravate you one minute, tickle the hell outta you the next. At least they ain't asking to borrow $20 bucks every day. Not many Holland transplanters used anymore. I prefer the cup style to the old finger style transplanters, though most have went to water wheel transplanters to be able to plant through plastic. Long as you got plenty of help a water wheel is drop dead simple to run and cheap. Holland is less aggravating to use in bare dirt though, if you plant in sticky dirt with a water wheel it tends to plug up the punches and then you got to take a stick or something and clean them out so you aren't planting into a dry hole.

Rode one of those Holland transplanters many a day.
I like it
We used to set watermelon plants with a holland 1 row tobacco setter when I was a kid. Beats the brakes off hand setting.
@@jonfloyd6013 Amen!
I put in my time on an old 2 row Powell transplanter at a young age, setting tobacco plants in Jenkins, Bulloch, and Candler counties.
