Crazy tough work. Hats off to you. My opinion on the corn sales is the stores have been selling 5 ears for $1. I’m guessing that’s a sales pitch to get people in the stores to buy other stuff.

Do you have a list of customers that buy in bulk amounts to handle the left over corn, like other farmers market stores that sell during the week, small grocery stores or bulk foods stores?

Those flip switch magnetic lights that are really bright are pretty handy to have in strategic places for emergency lights, including one inside each truck and on the big trailer. You can get them at Harbor Freight. It’s just a suggestion to consider.

This is amazing. I've watched many of your videos in the last couple of weeks. My parents do farmers markets too...but we only farm on 10 acres. They refuse to incorporate technology and do almost everything by hand, planting and weeding. It is so time-consuming. They spend at least 12 hours everyday on the farm. I am now helping them due to their health issues...now have my own farmers market stand the last 2 years and seems like this is something I can do. Me and my husband learned a lot from your videos. Your methods and models is what we aim for...We appreciate it and wish to be as successful as you one day.

Over 10,000 ears of corn just seems insane. But, I guess, when u have 6 plus places to sell at in one day, it's a necessary evil. Also makes perfect sense, when u say by October, I r just done. Those 4 am mornings would b a killer, and knowing that u don't have much of a reprive until the season is done, would b mentally taxing. It takes special ppl to do what u do. And I'm sure, all the ppl u r feeding, thank u regularly. Thx for the video

All the Hard work and years of sales doesn't make anything healthy, not even the taste-test makes it intrinsically "healthy". It means it can be sold, that's all. The carpet bombed toxins on the fields are not gone with the weeds that quickly died while the Gmo corn thrives! All the carpet bombed toxins are part of the finished products. And, you call yourself a No-Till farmer? I respect the years of hard work as a dedicated owner operator! Good tasting raw sweet corn is still GMO crops at best. Why should your customer buy GMO products? If you labeled them "GMO Grown Sweet Corn" how much would less would you sell? Can You Really grow all natural sweet Corn without using gmo sweet corn and/or herbicides?

When did he ever call himself a no-till farmer? He very clearly shows in his videos where he tills (discs) the ground before laying down the plastic. He may occasionally use no-till methods in some situations, but he does not promote his farm as being 100% no-till. Growing certified organic fruits and vegetables on this scale is very difficult to do profitably. Labor costs are much too high to have employees out there pulling weeds by hand.
