- We spend our weekend getting some hay hauled some, stacking some alfalfa in the barn, and battling small repairs like flat tires. Thanks for watching, eat beef, and God bless!

Hi! 71 year old farmer’s widow from SW WI with my knowledge of raising sweet corn 😉! My home is about even with the IA/MN state line, so I don’t get the heat you do, but here sweet corn can be planted as long as it will mature before frost. Our market growers, many Amish, will plant every 2 weeks to keep a steady harvest going. To even further extend the season, plant varieties with shorter maturity dates later in the season to be sure of harvest as long as possible.
But for a family garden, there’s a couple of things that will help: do more and shorter rows for the best pollination as the wind carries the pollen. Because you won’t be planting huge amounts, if cutworms etc are a problem, you can use an insecticide; we used Sevin, like for irises. A non chemical method would be wrapping aluminum foil around the stems,from just below ground level, to about 2” up the stem. It’s been years, but I think wood ashes work, too. Hubby said corn likes pretty warm, but not scorching; it just sits during the heat and grows in the evening and over night if it gets cool enough. So heat might slow the ripening down for you.
As for the volunteer stalk, its ear will be edible, but probably not as good as the parent as so many varieties are hybrids now. Unless you planted an heirloom variety; then it’s fine as both parents would have been the same variety. Being a vet, I’m sure you understand genetics.
We raised 3 kids and had a big garden while they were home and for several years after as we shared with the kids, family and friends. Hubby bowed out to do other things and I gardened solo for a few years, reducing the size from about 2 acres (because we planted the vine crops for tractor cultivation-squash, melons, sometimes tomatoes) to the 30’x80’ of my last one 2 years ago. Lost hubby in March’21 and being on my own, I don’t bother now. The relatives have died, kids live too far away and current friends either have their own gardens or buy from farmers markets. I do the farmers market thing, myself!
I’ve been having fits keeping up on mowing the lawn! Enough rain to keep it soft to outright muddy with warmth to have the grass growing like crazy! The last time I mowed, I kept to the higher ground and left ‘hay’😳😬! The clippings are nearly solid across (I make sure to blow them on the mown part) and still about 3” thick!! Makes me wish our (very old) rake still worked, but it died years ago. At least in windrows, it’d be easier to fork into the pickup to haul off to the brush at the edges. And I think I’m gonna have to use the tractor and 3 point to do the lower areas; it won’t be a smooth, but the tractor won’t get stuck like my zero turn!! Been there, did that! THREE TIMES since the flood on 6/22: once on 6/26 and twice on 6/29!! The 1st was totally my bad: I was tired and went ‘autopilot’ along the creek side of the lawn. The other 2 were ‘got tricked’ by the very long grass hiding the flood silt. I was helped both days, though, and towed out. My mower doesn’t have lugs, being a zero turn, so…😵💫!
Yes, I ‘write books’!! In high school, letters to grandparents were 5 sheets/10 pages. Kids and sister often have to read by sections because the letters are so long 🤭! But they like hearing the news from my end. I hope you enjoyed my input, too. And now I’ll close.
Love your channel!! Thanks for such great content! I’m definitely a fan!!❤❤❤!
Thanks for the info. Looking forward to having a few ears later in the summer when there’s none available elsewhere!
Gadsden guy the farm looked great. Finally hot a shower and rain all arround me.
Thanks for letting us tag along with you. I for one really enjoyed it. Praying for the loved ones of the man who lost his life also praying for the others that were injured. I do believe God has his hand on President Trump. No matter what happens God is still on his throne. The best thing we can do is to humble ourselves and pray. Looking forward to your next video.
Love the drone shots. Your farm is beautiful. What a great location!
Thank you!
Nice looking cows and calves
Wickedness in high places. 😊
Nice pics of the river and farm. You must have had quite a bit more rain than middle TN. We are extremely dry.
Yeah, Beryl gave us a couple of inches, with some folks around here getting much more. We’ve had a pretty good rainfall summer so far. Looks like we are staying in a wet pattern, too. Lots of rain forecasted for the next 2 weeks or so. I hope y’all can get a little!
Cool drone footage.
Amazing drone footage.
You actually live close to the Mississippi River.❤️🇨🇦
Yeah, only 2.5 miles away. The closest point is actually north-northwest of us as there’s a pretty big bend in the river
Love the music
Thanks 👍
The tear drop calf 😂
Nice looking heifers
Thanks 👍
Impressive drone footage!
Thank you!
Thanks 😊
Pray pray pray.😊
Another good video, Bobby Lee. Even though there were no bikinis in this one 😜
Really neat drone footage.
Maybe next time!
I agree with you there
Good to see you Bobby Lee
praying for RAIN
I just had my last calf of the year day before yesterday myself.
Good deal!
Sometimes the worms will getin corn
so wonderful beautiful video Bobby i love it see so nice
Thank you!
How many acres are you running?
About 150 acres of pasture
When you said you are 40 something I just wanted to let you know I’m t don’t get no better. I am 57 and I just worked 12 hours in a Paper mill. I want a farm and cows so when I retire I can just keep on making some money.
This is a tough business to make money in. Not so much because of the hard work, but the market volatility. Markets often have nothing to do with actual fundamentals as they are controlled by speculators behind a computer screen. I’d suggest starting small and trying to market direct to consumer as much as possible.
@@HurricaneCreekFarms thanks and I just want to start with a few and raise my own beef for my family. I may love it or may hate it.
1 John 5:19 says it all. :)
Yeah, it does!
Love you channel man. Trump 2024!
Thank you!
