Hey thanks Andrew! We picked up rocks all over our farm during my entire childhood but dang the rocks that you and Broyans have are on another level lol

@@wishwellfarms Yea, I watch the veggie boys and I just don't see how they fight those rocks. I'm glad we don't that that here in Louisiana

@@KrazyKajun602 yeah the rocks that Veggie Boys and Broyans Farm have to deal with looks terrible...I always thougth we had rocky hills but nothing compared to them.

Veggie Boys!!!!!

They normally employ about 100, it’s about a 5000 acre farm, sweet corn, green beans, cabbage, and potatoes

Thanks!

Hey there, don’t have too many subscribers that are local, appreciate the sub! Yeah, Michaels are my go to green bean Source if I am ever short. We grow about 8 acres and use a one real harvester but this year we had some issues with our early beans from the heat as did Michaels, reflected in the super high price. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching all the way from Ireland!

@@wishwellfarms welcome

Thanks!

It’s nice to know that there are still kids out there still willing to work and spend a few hours a day away from their phones

Hahahaha, can’t believe someone noticed that! That old worn out jacket is still good for something!

Thank you!

I agree, most have no idea the risk involved and how much hard work it can be.

You are welcome, thank you so much for watching!

@@wishwellfarms you have a great delivery style…give it time, your channel will grow.

@@cinm9565 thanks I appreciate the feedback! I have a backpacking and kayaking channel that I started back in 2016 that’s at 47,000 subscribers but as of late the farm channel gets a lot more traction than that one, I’ll keep at it!

I also really like this video. it was so relaxing to watch it till the end

Thank you! We’re doing our best!

Ha! Yeah, I know just how far I can push it and not spill a load!

Thanks!

We've done about 4-5 different hospital markets over the years as well.

Yes, since I use biodegradable plastic it can only be used once. Even the regular plastic gets torn up and the dirt gets hard underneath and not good for transplanting the following year. And weeds come up in every old hole and I have no way to fertilize the soil underneath properly...many reasons, too many to list. So yes, still very profitable on the once and done method, our most profitable ground on our entire 65 acres of veggies by far, other than the hydro tomatoes.

Nice!

Thanks! They land on top of the ear and peck through it to get to the kernels and shred the top of the husk in the process and peck several kernels and then move on rendering it unmarketable. 95% of the ear is still good, but no one will buy it that way.

@@wishwellfarms oh wow that's a bummer I know I would buy them damaged and cook them and use a knife and take the corn off and can it 🤔

Rainbow industries in Springfield, Ohio

Good question, yes. I wholesaled to a grocery store chain with 11 stores within an hour and a half or our farm or over a decade but when Farmers' Markets took off with the "buy local" movement we found we made way more money selling direct to the consumer. We ran our on farm store for 24 years and just closed it permantely this season...it was only 5% of our revenue but 75% of my headaches, and with no one in my family interested in keeping it going it was time to close it. 24 years of no privacy, people on my property all day every day while trying to raise three kids was not fun and a happy wife is a happy farmer, haha. That is the short answer.

@@wishwellfarms Thank you, I understand. You right, happy wife happy life.

A local friend of ours who does freelance work, glad you like it!

Those are round 72 count protrays.

We let friends and family glean through it for a couple days and then we just mow it down because the next patch is always ready.

It's crazy busy there that's for sure, can't imagine the nightmare of running that operation...they have like 50 center pivots on those thousands of acres.

Just regular hybrid slicing cucumbers. We try to plant ones that have a great disease resistance/tolerance package and that have a gynoecious habit which produce mostly female flowers and monoecious habit with unisex flowers.

Sorry we are not, all positions have been filled.

thank you sir

OMG......please do your research and get educated BEFORE you ask and STOP MAKING INSINUATIONS... YOU KNOW NOTHING

This comment is so ludicrous it doesn’t even deserve a response, but the only way I can get it cleared off of my screen is to write something

@@wishwellfarms so I was correct ok thank you

@@_Fadedpolo YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG ABOUT ALL OF IT

Faded polo you are the most ignorant uneducated person here

I don’t wanna deal with all the paperwork that comes along with the H2A program and provide housing and pay $23 an hour, no thanks.

@wishwellfarms Good and fair response...thank you! Ps...love your channel!

POLITICS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT SO KEEP YOUR POLITICS OUT OF A FARMING CHANNEL

So first of all, I do grow many of my crops organically, my greenhouses never see a synthetic pesticide. We do, however, have to use herbicide to control weeds in our fields or we would not be able to farm here in Ohio where we are located. It’s just absolutely impossible. We control many of our insects and fungal diseases with OMRI labeled products which is the organic materials Institute. Just because I say I’m going out to spray doesn’t mean it can’t be organic sprays. All farmers spray, even certified organic farmers. They are just spraying organic products not synthetic products.

Absolutely right. The people who don’t farm just talk it’s easy to say nasty spray. Without herbicide it’s almost impossible to grow

Please get educated BEFORE you ask that question

unfortunately, I do not participate in H2A. We’re just not quite big enough and we are actually getting ready to scale back some and we only need a handful of high school kids. I appreciate the offer though.
