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.

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

@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

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.

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.

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.

@wishwellfarms 19 күн бұрын

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.

@greenthumbacresfarm7068 19 күн бұрын

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.

@wishwellfarms 18 күн бұрын

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.

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.

@wishwellfarms 18 күн бұрын

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.

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.

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.

canned corn is yellow sweet corn, field corn is for livestock feed, ethanol, corn syrup and things like that

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.

Hi Jason, how do you keep the birds from damaging your sweet corn when it is ready to harvest? Thanks

@wishwellfarms 18 күн бұрын

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.

@wishwellfarms 18 күн бұрын

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.
