Without our farmers we r doomed, thanks to every single one of them. God bless.

Iam only watching because they are black farmers in america, they are my people. This gives me hope. Blacks can own land and farm like any body else. Good job

Best people in the Country right there !!!

I love to see black Americans on their own land in Ohio only one that I know of a large dairy farm and that is sad in the seventies a man and his daughter showed up at a sale and it thrilled my heart.my God bless these people in the video..👍♥️

I sell mine right out of the front door. Got customers buying 5 to 6 at a time. Spend 12 -14 hours a day in the field. Hard work that's got satisfaction built in.

Those are beautiful watermelons. I have grown melons in Pennsylvania. The season is too short. Some melons are started in high tunnels and left to run out the sides of the high tunnels. God bless the farmers that feed the world.

2 good hard working brothers. I Love watermelons. 🙂👍👍👍👍😇😇😇

I’m from Illinois and I have been growing vegetables and herbs for 3 years straight in the suburbs! It’s a beautiful thing to see that African Americans in the SOUTH are still farming. I always wanted to have a garden and learn how to grow fruits and veggies since I was a little girl! IM ALL ORGANIC and I grew watermelons and a variety of other melons this year! Nothing beats home grown fresh out of the earth produce! I simply don’t buy veggies in the supermarket anymore. BIG difference in taste and quality! Ima a mini farmer in training!🤓

Love these stories. Use to live on a farm. Miss my wheel barrel. This to me is the most honorable profession. Owning land employing your family thats the American dream.

Enjoyed the videos on growing Watermelons. I am proud to be the daughter of a man I saw as a great farmer. Want to learn to grow watermelons consistently good each year. Nevads, plenty of sun.

I live in central fl and both my grandfather and great grandfather were farmers here. Both were passed on by the time I was born but my Uncle had watermelons and cows. Out of all his several brothers and sisters, all their kids and grand kids I am the only one who lives out in the country and raises livestock. I am sure he went to his grave never knowing what an influence he had on my life.I respect what you do and the hard work it takes but you have beautiful watermelons and you are my kind of people.

I remember as a kid in Maryland an old black man with a farmers floppy hat driving his wooden cart loaded with watermelons pulled by one mule, up and down the alleyways in the neighborhood shouting "wada mello"

Continue doing what you guys do American's Heartland👍🏼 Continue Blessings🙏 Be safe Everyone 🌏😷

The brother is a OG in a cowboy hat.

Exactly ! As the nice lady said "They haven't traveled here, there and yonder" they come from within 20 miles of where you live, good for you're allergies to consume goods in you're own location...

I saw an older 60s Ford truck in background, it was red. Good to see the old trucks still doing their job.

I’m guessing that sandy soil helps with weed control. Beautiful melons y’all grow.👍🏼👨‍🌾🍉☀️

I want to eat that last mellon. Here in Los Angeles the last watermellon that I ate from a grocery store that didn't tast like a dish rag was in the 1980's. Im growing my own now, cant wait. JCisL

respect .. i like hard working people .....greetings from krommenie , the netherlands

Who doesn't like watermelon! Lol I've yet to meet that person! 😅

My grandfather used to have a nice farm I'm the youngest grandchild so I minded the best years!! But I'm definitely taking after him and teaching my 6 year old. We have a small little home garden!

I live in PA and I'll never know what a ripe melon straight off the vine tastes like. My parents and I buy and eat lots of watermelon but we have trouble getting real good ones.

Great video, glad to meet the Cooper family.🖋

Love ya terry

God bless you fellas. 🙏!! Great work.

What an awesome video and to hear about the many generations of your family farming . I love hearing these stores....so happy for you all .... Thanks for sharing this...God bless you and your family and stay safe. !!! Regards, Tom

my home town I may go up there and see if they need some help

God Bless u n all the farmers out there n thank u so much !!

After watching this video im so ready for summer, watermelon season.

God bless family farmers like these

Hope they are still strong and continue with their farming.Just planted mine with some corns cucumber during lockdwn.

Much respect for this family!!!! :)

I enjoyed the video!! I’m a student at Alcorn State University majoring in Agriculture Business but I love home gardening!! And hopefully one day to own a cattle farm!! This video definitely gave me the courage and confidence to keep pursuing to grow and produce my own fruit one day!

Don't forget the packing straw/hay like the 1950's farmers would do. Good looking crop with the yellow underside.

Beautiful melons! Would love to hear your growing tips!

Terry cooper that’s my guy. Happy birthday brother!!!

hell yeah, i would harvest melons with y'all

I grew up planting,growing and pulling watermelons. Hard work but very rewarding! I learned a lot about life in a watermelon field.

Keep it going guys God bless you

Thank the lord for farmers. I will be a farmer one day.

One complaint they had was that it is hard to find people to this type of hard labor. That's true! Some young people especially don't want to do this type of work! Hard working Americans like these are a dying breed! Living here in Mississippi I really appreciate their hard work! Brings back a lot of memories I shared with my grandfather!

Really great video on how to grow, and sell water melons. I'm starting my first acre tomorrow.

That's some nice watermelon. I used to pick up watermelon by the semi load in Yakima WA. They would always let me pick a couple out of the load.

Those are beautiful watermelons

You can’t live without farmers. You simply die starving.

I'd love to meet you guys some day. Keep up the good work !

My father used to plant watermelon and melons when he’s still alive we have it every year on the summer

This is what I strive for in life. I am an aspiring watermelon farmer

Good tips above, thank you! Watermelons are good for you, nutrition-wise but especially for hydration! Give it to a sick person who is having trouble getting enough water or liquids, it is sweet, they love it, and it will hydrate them!

Best watermelons on the planet.

I love this video family legacy labour of love

That’s the problem with America, they think produce grows right out of the store shelf. They don’t know the hard work farmers have to do I just realized it myself recently started my first garden, God bless all you for your hard work and for the food that you put on my table I love everyone of you

I helped with about an acre and a half harvest last year in Southeastern PA, and man is that some work. I'm planting about a half acre myself this year on my farm in Northeastern PA, we'll see how well they turn out.

yeah Watermelons grow on their own in Alabama. Awhile back I planted some and now they grow on their own every year.

Greetings from Brazil, farmers.

This video is making me want some watermelons so bad. Is March and I can't wait til summer just for watermelon season

Amazing African American Land Owner Supplying This Delicious Fruit To The American Population

Looks Great , man I wished I could get a Slice. Keep up the Good work!

I am agronomist from Greece(Europe) and i must say that the USA is bless place.

Old Cooley Palmer Williamsburg Va also grew wonderful melon RIP Cooley

Wow. I. Pick water melons when i was young my family would pick every summer..i love it...we would sell in the summer for school clothes...

The Cooper Brothers stated that they do not grow as many water melons as they used to is because they cannot get the Labor. When I grew up in the 1950 and 60s it was very common for local young boys and men to work on farms from Dairy to strawberries to make money.

Loved this video, and these guys are delightful.

My granddad farmed in alabama, hadn't heard " hands" in years..😅

Thank You Farmers

Love me a lot of watermelon!

Would love to go and harvest watermelons on this farm. Certainly something different for me than my usual vacations.

I am visiting your chantry ❤️

Watermelons, as we all know, were invented in New Jersey, back in '43, DURING the War. A Hoboken farmer named Mach-Shuud decided to try planting the seeds of the local FurrBerry tree instead of the traditional, yellow-flavored pisswater plant. The result? Bankruptcy. However, in time, locals came to know and love the exciting, new plant called, "What-the Hell-is-that!" You're welcome😅😮😅

Good job brother

Nuthin better than cold watermelon with some salt, catelope to!

I love picking water melon and canalops as well

I grow the. Charleston grey watermelon s they get around. 20 to 30 Pounds they do good. In the north east. Far as Virginia. West Virginia and parts of the Ohio such as southern part.

God bless our farmers❤

Good work

Honest work going on there, if only the inner city folk would be forced to go out to their fields and work for their food like this.

Long Family History ❤❤❤❤

What a blessing.. what a blessing 😊

Good work Cooper boys!

I live in Central Arkansas, a State known for Farmers. Where I live, the population is around 8,000 residents. However, there are no "Farmer's Markets" close. Sure, I can drive to Little Rock, but that's a 100 mile round trip. Plus, the prices and high crime, makes it not very appealing. Also, I'm 59 years old and the strange thing is this; I don't know one person that farms for a living. When I was a child in the 1960's, my Grandfather was a farmer, my Dad farmed 40 acres, on the side of his regular job, and many city residents farmed. Now, there are no more 40-acre farmers. Most are huge corporations with many employees. The owner of the land is no more a farmer than I. They ride around in $80,000 trucks with air conditioning, and watch the "hired hands" do all the work. Today's farmer is nothing like the farmer of just a few decades ago.

I love graft watermelon and see the result which is so satisfying...

Love it! Keep it in the family, is the foundation to succeed if successful😊👍 hard work has it own rewards ✌ it builds caracter, and moral quality's

Thanks for sharing 👍

I used to grow watermelons the help was so expensive

I want to eat watermelon now! My absolute favourite fruit.

A nice family operation. Wish I could grow yummy watermelons like that. Here the raccoons run off with the fruit every year. Good luck with your crops this year.

🇯🇲.Hi love it. good to see 👍🏿👍🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Need to show more videos like this to prove us blacks work hard.

Great stuff. Keep it up!

The gentleman was totally correct on today’s youth. They’re too busy on social media to be out there in them fields.

Beautiful crop

Mmmm Alabama my home state!

I love watermelons 🍉🌽🍅🍓🍐🥝🍇🍌

I love watermelon!

I have started to buy from the farmers market..I want to support local people..Not from around the world.

what a fortunate name.

I swear If I lived by a watermelon 🍉 farm that’s the only thing I’d eat and naturally lose 40lbs

Don’t forget the bees! Watermelons have male and female flowers so need a pollinator. Without bees there would be no watermelon crop.

Awesome awesome
