We had very heavy rain here in NJ on Tuesday evening that caused a lot of flooding on these country roads. I never would have made it back home if I didn't drive a pickup truck. Best of luck to you down on the farm.
Wow, that sounds terrible! I heard of some huge flooding in Pennsylvania as well that even closed some events that were taking place this coming weekend
@@jacobpoucher I have a lot of opinions too a lot of different sects of them around here, at least three. Other than Holmes County up by Wooster we have the largest population in Ohio right here.
@wishwellfarms interesting, we have some conflicting information about the amish. I live 5 mins away from middlefield ohio that claims to be "the 2nd largest amish settlement in ohio" and the forth largest in north America. That being said it's not suprising the misinformation surrounding the amish and it is not a mistake.
@wishwellfarms id love to pick your brain about it I suspect you are much more wise then me on this subject. They don't contribute to our society as much as they take and use.
Yeah, it’s crazy how spotty the rain has been. We have had numerous heavy rains and we are very wet, but I know other areas of Ohio are near drought conditions.
I know what my Grandma and Mom would do with the the culls and left over that didn't sale. They would can it. But they grew up in a different time in a depression. You didn't throw any food away. Because you didn't know were your next meal was coming from. New sub. Really in joy!
We’ve definitely done our fair share, freezing and canning, but there’s only so much you can do. Many of my employees take lots of the extras home with them as well. Thanks
Thanks for making and sharing another Great video Jason 😃 I wondered who were your children now I seen them (Natalie & Gavin) 😃 praying for your Faith to keep going strong and your farm and business to continue to prosper (glad to see you got the rains 😁) 🙏
Thanks, Elijah! He has always been faithful and provided for us even in difficult farming years. My other son Blake can be seen picking and packing corn every once in a while, but he doesn’t really farm with me anymore since he became a full-time UA-camr last year. I’ll try to point him out in one of the future videos, he kind of stands out because he’s 6’ 4 and a half.
What a long day! I don't envy what you just had to go through harvesting after that! You have to take the good with the bad! You needed the rain but now have to harvest in the mud! I sure could use some rains have only had like .4 in the last month or so! Rest of the state has had way too much and we can't get any here! Hope all went well, and you were able to get your harvests mudded out!
I guess that’s a little confusing to me because we have nothing to do with deciding whether WIC participants can shop or not, the farmers don’t have to take their coupons if they don’t sign up but the WIC participants can go anywhere anytime and shop any producer that has signed up with WIC. These WIC markets we did are put on by the state office and they only invite select few farmers to go to them and there are usually only three of them. But we accept the coupons at all eight locations throughout the summer in addition.
Some things just aren’t fair. We’ve only had about 1.5” year to date here in southern NM. It is very sporadic here. Dig you an overflow pond so you can pump from it during a drought. Thanks for sharing.
I am from Minnesota. Our WIC program is on going. The people can use their coupons at any market any time, as long as the market is authorized. So we get WIC coupons from June 15 until October 31. We had flooding rain end of June, about 8 ¼" in 3 days. A lot of our crops never came back. Some were under water for a week. Like you said, never a normal. Last year we were in a drought. Happy market gardening to you!
@@bernardkleinschmidt5930 your WIC program is exactly the same as ours. We get them at all eight of our markets until October 31. They also do three special ones where many of the participants pick them up the coupons at a distribution site where they invite a limited amount of farmers to come to. Weather conditions are definitely more extreme on the dry end and the wet end more than ever. Fortunately, we haven’t lost any crops due to the rain yet. Hope your season finishes off strong.
Praying that you don't get the rain we just got from TS Debbie. 10 inches of rain and still falling. Melon crop ruined and Praying that the peanuts and sweet potatoes make it. Butternut a loss aswell
Oh my goodness very sorry to hear that, something similar just happened up in northeast Ohio as well. They got about 10 to 12 inches of rain in a few hours and houses are flooded and crops are ruined.
I sure hope you so us the results of all that rain! I wish you would have shown us the produce you had to sort out and discard and how you determined what to toss and what to keep. Probably not exciting for most but educational for us that want to learn. Thanks for sharing what you do!
That’s a good idea, sometimes there’s things I don’t film because it’s so second nature to me, but I gotta remember that many people would find some of these things interesting even if I don’t
Wow you are burning the candle at both ends! Kinda sucks that part of the business doesn't it? And no way in hell you would get a young buck to do that! I liking your videos..keep up the good work!
You got that right, maybe if the Young buck had some skin in the game, I guess. July and August are brutal, but I know the slower season is coming soon, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It sure throws a wrench in the gears when your market location is changed at the market. The customers get used to finding you at a specific spot. And, rain is just a damper unless it has been extremely hot before. I hope you get your recharge and feel more rested. Long days have a way of making the next couple of days not so good. Keep sending your videos as we enjoy every one of them.
At our normal weekly farmers markets were always in the exact same spot for the entire season, but for these three WIC markets it’s pretty much first come first serve or you set up where they tell you to. Things are starting to slow down just a bit but we still have several really big weeks ahead of us but it will all pass soon. Thanks!
Beautiful content. Thank you for taking your time to share with us. How much water do you spend for irrigation (roughly) do you have any river across your land or pond? Do you have water well just for irrigation? If well, how many gallons per min does it provide, has the water level ever gone low?
Thank you very much! We pump from a well with a 2 1/2 horse pump that puts out 33 gallons a minute, we hit water at 50 feet and it’s good for 100 gallons a minute and has never gone low. It actually is an artesian well and overflows at 3 gallons a minute 24/7. We also built a small pond to pump out of for frost control on our strawberries, but we no longer grow those. Pumping out the well doesn’t really cost me anything. Maybe just a few bucks extra for electricity each day during the summer.
We had a rain like that right at the end of market. Got so dark the street lights were coming on. We had to pull over to the side of the road because the wipers couldnt keep up!
I just hate having to deal with rain at farmers markets, especially Saturdays because that’s like 90% of our revenue. We’ve been pretty fortunate this year.
I've been growing cauliflower and broc for over 30 years. I have never seen it grown on plastic b for? Do you tye all your cauliflower? Have you tired imperial broc? That's what I grow and it does great!
Hey Paul, yes I’ve grown imperial for many years just didn’t this year. I couldn’t control the weeds well enough when I didn’t grow it on plastic so we use biodegradable plastic on all of our brassicas now and it does great. We used to rubber band all of our cauliflower for many years but with these newer self wrapping varieties, we tend to get them harvested before they start turning yellow so it’s probably been six or seven years since I’ve had to tie any cauliflower.
lol, I just have one cup of coffee when I get up in the morning and that’s it. Sometimes If I sit down too long at the computer and start editing, I almost doze off from time to time, but as long as I keep moving, I’m good!

ALthough in another state i would counsult with shawn of Gact city foundation and drainage. Add downspouts, and install pvc pipes to the low area. Filming the rain event is good to identify the problems. See below: ua-cam.com/video/IDblo3MVRp0/v-deo.htmlsi=uyTIKQcYjS6TfE1D Wonder if the corn could go to a distiller, or pigs?
WIC is federal program. Run through the State. Fantastic for Women, infants and children. It has a Surprisingly big income base. (You can have more income than food stamps) Michigan also has a project fresh for Low income Seniors. $25.00 worth of income per Senior for Michigan Grown Produce.
Yes, we participate in our Ohio senior program as well, this year, it finally went all digital so no more paper coupons, everything is done through an app now. It’s kind of nice, but I’m not able to track which Markets receive the money, something they have to work on within the app for next year.
Not as easy as you think. You have to get approved through a regional coordinator to drop something off to one of the food banks in Ohio. You gotta remember there’s hundreds of other farmers delivering their leftover produce also so many times the food banks are full. Furthermore, it takes either my time or I have to pay someone else to drive my truck with my fuel to deliver it, it’s not worth it unless it is a huge truck full.
Hopefully people don’t take same attitude about farmer’s markets it takes people extra time and fuel to go out of their way to to go to the farmers market when there are grocery stores closer I’m sure.
Great video. I had to subscribe after seeing this👍
These are the times that we remember!
Yep
Thank you for being so special as you work the veggie way.

That rain is what we call in Georgia a gully washer!!
@@TheChessUniverse that’s exactly what I call them too! I almost can’t believe I didn’t use that term in the video ha ha
@@TheChessUniverse Lord knows we’ve had a lot of gullies washed out lol
We X'd WIC at our market via popular farmer opinion 14 years ago. The next year the market as a whole and sales for farmers where the strongest ever.

Why cant you give the stuff you're going to throw out to a food bank or shelter ?
Not as easy as you think. You have to get approved through a regional coordinator to drop something off to one of the food banks in Ohio. You gotta remember there’s hundreds of other farmers delivering their leftover produce also so many times the food banks are full. Furthermore, it takes either my time or I have to pay someone else to drive my truck with my fuel to deliver it, it’s not worth it unless it is a huge truck full.
Get a smaller truck

@@billwang4086you definitely are not running your own business. Do you expect people to just throw away their time and money?
If you put the food back on the field it isn't wasted.
