PREPPING MORE VEGGIE GROUND: DISKING, LAYING MULCH AND SPRAYING
Вставка

- Filmed on June 4, 2024. In todays video we are racing the darkness and rain to get everything done. We disk some ground, lay some plastic and get it sprayed. And I explain what herbicides we use to control weeds on our plastic mulch ground.
I find it hard to believe you haveo nly five thousand subscribers. One of the best channel I stumbled on. I'll be a daily viewer from Oakville Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you very much that is very kind of you. I’ll keep cranking out the Farm videos and hopefully they’ll get sent out into the greater UA-cam land eventually!
5001 now
Don’t worry about that first row being crooked. My grandpa always said he could grow more in a crooked row that a straight one 😂. Lookin good man 👍
Hahahaha! I’ve always done my best at making straight rows back when I used to mow hay for our dairy farm and rake the hay, and even the lawns when I had my own lawn mowing business before I started vegetable farming, but you are right, crooked rows produce just as much!
@@wishwellfarmsoh ya and I noticed you are up over 5000 subs now. Fantastic! Congrats and I hope your channel really takes off this year!
@@redshepherdoutdoors7201 the channel growth has blown me away, and the subscribers are pretty insignificant compared to my backpacking and kayaking channel, but it’s all about the views and watch time, that’s the difference!
Us small gardeners like me sure enjoy real farmers at work
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video!
I grew up on an Iowa farm. Horse weeds brought back bad memories!
Back in the day when I didn’t know what I was doing for weed control I remember those darn things getting 10 or 12 feet high!
You really accomplished a lot in one day! I can't wait for you to do a planting and to watch that grow.
Hello. Do you ever have time to relax? You and your workforce are such hard workers. It's great that your channel was suggested to me. Well worth subscribing and very informative. Elaine from the UK 🇬🇧 🌱
Yes I do, I just never show it in my videos, but you just gave me a great video idea...how a farmer has fun! Thanks!
Give me some of that energy so I can work from 5am to 9pm. Long shift there today but as you said it will pay off and you completed what you wanted. Great video
Haha, it’s getting harder and harder for me to find that energy these days, back in my 30s that was an every day occurrence all summer long, not so much anymore 😁
Hey, I'm new to your videos. Ive learned so much from ya man. Your channel was recommended to me from watching random garden videos since about April. Just figured I'd let ya know that. It means a whole lot more people are coming soon! So you might have a whole other job here before you know it!!! I'd say you got a year lol. It's the least I can do is subscribe and comment here and there for all the free content you provide. Wish you luck this year. Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, it seems that the channel is starting to take on a life of its own, but this is what I want, I want to showcase my life on our farm and at the same time help others out who are trying to learn from my knowledge, and if I can generate a little income stream along the way then great!
Man I'm glad to hear that! Your work ethic is enough for me to just keep pushing forward. Thanks again
Nice video Jason, we had rain last night ,needed it corn was rolling a little vegetable ok . thanks for sharing ,glad the channel is growing
Thanks Bill, the next video will show what 4 inches of rain and hail did to our farm. We’re mostly recovered now though fortunately. Thanks for continuing to watch and comment!
I always watch your content as soon as possible. It is very informative for me in the long run and I learn something new every time I watch. You can never stop learning and I love it. I love your drive and effort THANK YOU........ GO FARMERS! Thank you again for the great content.
Thank you very much for the kind words and for supporting Farmers! I hope you keep on learning!
Another excellent video!! Thanks for bringing us along!!
You betcha, thanks for joining me!
Work, work, work. Never ends this time of year for you Jason. Hey, noticed your subscribers and views are way up. Good for you.
Yes, things have been going well...almost feels like another job, lol, definitely no time to run and train this time of year. Looking forward to some kayaking and backpacking soon! Thanks
So glad I found your channel. My dream is to start a farm business similar to yours. Would love to see more content on the business side of things like how you plan out your crops for harvest times, estimate yields, where/how to sell, which crops provide best profits, etc. One of the things that is hardest for me to wrap my head around is how you can have a consistent income in those months when there’s nothing to harvest. Thanks for the great content!
This is a very loaded question. Many of these things I’ve already answered in videos earlier this spring, but I will be going into more depth on some of this in the off season when I’m looking for content. As far as the consistent income, we just draw from our accounts during the off season that have been built up during our 5 month season. There is absolutely no money being made on our farm for 7 months a year, and this is the way I want it because we travel a lot. This could easily be extended to 9-10 months with high tunnels that we used to use but we sold them in 2017. Our greenhouses could also be utilized more if we chose. but this is still better than being a grain farmer who make their income in basically 1 month other than selling stored grain from the bins.
i am watching your videos from india(bangalore).you the very precision farmer.i am waiting for your video.
Thank you very much for the kind words!
yeah long work days on farm suck as hell, the only good time of day is when it's over, then you feel great hell is over and work is done. doing little everyday for pleasure is different story.
For sure!
It seems as if I am always racing against the rain and darkness. I am glad that everything worked out good for you this time. It sounds as if you won't have to wait very long to have the chemicals washed off the plastic.
Thanks! Don’t worry, the chemicals got more than washed off, you won’t believe it, coming in the next video!
Great video. I think I will try your pre emerge next season I use prowl h2o with atrazine in corn and just prowl h2o everywhere else. I put down 400ft of plastic and planted BOLT on april 21 Shot up like a bean stalk will be picking corn by end of month .Wow.
Awesome! Yeah, I’ve heard of people using prowl, but I’ve never tried it. Usually, we would put down a generic version of bicep 2 magnum with my burn down of round up and 24d but this year I skipped the pre-emergent and just did the burn down and when the weeds start coming back, that’s when I put down the 3/4 of an ounce of impact with a pint of atrazine and 1 gallon of MSO per 100 gallons of water, works great and kills everything as long as it’s not too big. And I try to always do it before corn in knee high.
@wishwellfarms Prowl is pretty safe never had it burn any transplants
@@mikewalter8547 oh you were referring to using prowl on your plastic mulch for your transplants, yeah I’ve never tried that either. If it helps control morning glory I would definitely try it. They are my nemesis.
I like the Bible verse over the cooler door
I have three different ones posted around the cooler doors on our farm. It’s a daily subtle reminder for me to praise Him for all things and to depend on Him and he will direct my steps.
@@wishwellfarmsSame here. I’ve got Philippians 4:19 written out next to our register at our farm store where I can see it. Everyone can see it but it’s mainly for me. “My God shall supply all your needs”.
😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for watching!
You can grow vesitable everything.
I do my best!
Your video is so useful like me who just started small vegetable farming. I am getting to much problem with weeds on the field. What herbicide do you use in this video if you give details it will be helpful rest of my farming journey. Thank you
There’s not a magic bullet herbicide, some can be sprayed over certain vegetables and some cannot. Some work better for broadleaves some for grasses so this is two broad of a question and I would need more specifics.
@@wishwellfarms I do mostly hot peppers, tomatoes, pumpkin and cucumbers. Thank you
Give me a John Deere and a harrow to pull all day! Some of the best therapy time there is!
That’s some enjoyable work right there!
I imagine the wind is a big factor cause this spray would kill established plants on other end?
Yes, you gotta be very careful when you have established plants nearby, it was dead calm when I started spraying, but then the wind started picking up, but fortunately I was finishing up in time.
@@wishwellfarms no way that was the spray that got your green house?
@@danrussell9207 no, the damage in the greenhouse was visible about a week or two prior to me spraying plus I wasn't spraying any roundup or 2-4,d which is what the damage was from
BioGold II
It’s Great stuff!
Is it loud riding on the plastic laying machine?
Yes, it’s a little loud, the camera mic definitely makes it louder than it really is, but I always wear earplugs when I’m out on the tractor laying plastic, planting or spraying. My dad and my grandpa had a lot of hearing issues in their later years and I don’t wanna be in their same shoes.
need to give that kid some ear muffs or ear plugs! or is it the dust he is trying to keep out of his face?
It’s very quiet back there just very dusty and I always offer him a facemask or a hanky but he prefers to just to pull his shirt up ha ha
Jason is so cruel with weeds that Greenpeace is outraged and Greta Thunberg is steaming
🤣🤣🤣
