- Filmed on July 10, 2024. Not every day on the farm is a clear sunny day and today the crew got to experience harvesting in the rain and mud, not very fun, but necessary. Before harvest and packing we plant some fall cauliflower, prepare our second trailer for the Honda R & D Market and I visit one of Ohio's largest green bean and sweet corn growers to purchase some extra beans to supplement our own since we didn't have any to harvest this week.
Your soil looks so nice for transplanting. Loved the video
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!!!!!
That place was a heck of an operation they must employ 50 plus people thank you for another great video
They normally employ about 100, it’s about a 5000 acre farm, sweet corn, green beans, cabbage, and potatoes
The blood, sweat and tears of producing food. You are getting it done. Thank you.
Thanks!
New subscriber here: I neighbor Urbana so have lived within minutes of Micheal’s farms my whole life. They are a heck of an outfit for sure. And I can attest they have the best beans around. It’s good too see local farmers on here. God bless and keep the videos coming.
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!
good workers regards from ireland
Thanks for watching all the way from Ireland!
@@wishwellfarms welcome
Enjoyed all your videos 😀
Thank you!
Wow!!!! Hardworking farmers.God bless you all!
Thanks!
Most of my workers never undstood that I couldn't help them pick the crops all day long.
As I had to change irrigation lines,spray crops, prepare ground for the next planting ,etc
and all the work that had to be done in the packing shed
farmers dont get enough credit for the work they do. They are the base of society
I agree, most have no idea the risk involved and how much hard work it can be.
It's great to see the kids working. You are providing hope for a future.
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
Beautiful
Dude wearing his outdoor research jacket in the field, awesome
Hahahaha, can’t believe someone noticed that! That old worn out jacket is still good for something!
Very interesting. Thanks!
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
Seriously, this operation is so cool!
Thank you!
Another awesome video! How are the balloons doing with the corn? Keeping the birds away? I hope so!
Beautiful vegetables. Great video. God Bless.
Thank you! We’re doing our best!
Jason driving with that forklift so rakish and swift ) Dude is a clump of energy.
Ha! Yeah, I know just how far I can push it and not spill a load!
I am loving your videos
Thanks!
That large scale farm is impressive. We see alot of the "small scale" farms on utube but when u see how large these operations can get, it quite an eye opener. The fact that u can compete with farms like that, really says something about your farm.
Question. Do u find that growing a once and done crop on the plastic with drip tape irrigation is highly profitable. I'm guessing the numbers must work out for u, but do u fi d any pros or cons of growing a crop that u harvest once on plastic is worth it?
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to more
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.
I love the really big zuchini, makes zuchini burgers. :) Nice to see you have another trailer. One farm visits the hospital here in the city as they want to offer healthy food, to familes and people in the neighborhood on fridays. The good thing about Honda' is may youll make some hundo's!
We've done about 4-5 different hospital markets over the years as well.
You could have another wheel made for the time and fuel it takes to double plant
Wow so great ❤❤❤ im a farmer and im doing grow on 5000m2 so good but it small
Nice!
Great
Very Nice, you work way hared. Can I ask where you buy the tents for your Trailers?
Rainbow industries in Springfield, Ohio
Glad to see you got some rains 💦 interesting your of the green bean plant tour 😀 hope the birds lay off your corn 🌽 how do the birds ruin the corn? 🤔
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 🤔
Have you ever considered on just doing a retail and wholesale selling at your farm location only?
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.
😊😊😊😊😊
@wishwellfarms who designed your logo? It's awesome
A local friend of ours who does freelance work, glad you like it!
What do you do with all the bird damaged corn?
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.
what starter trays do you use? they seem to just pop right out thanks
Those are round 72 count protrays.
What kind of cucumbers do you grow?
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.
That Michael's Farm is pandemonium ! Man,I'd hate to work in such a human swarm.
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.
hellow sir are you hiring a worker
Sorry we are not, all positions have been filled.
thank you sir
One. What exactly is “seedless” watermelon? Watermelon harvested early or gmo?
TWO. What is migrant housing & why is it impossible to get a job on these farms but you predominantly white farmers on government loans seemingly only hire non Americans to work on your farms and go so far as to build housing for non Americans? Honestly what the deal with that? Are farmers not wanting to hire Americans because they don’t want to have to disclose what chemicals the workers would be exposed to in the fields? Or is it really just cheaper to hire non Americans?
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
In a Republican county...but you need migrant workers....wow...just wow
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
What ever happened to growing beautiful vegetables without spraying nasty stuff on the food. It's really to bad you can't go organic.
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
Greetings. My name is Sifiso Nsibande from Eswatini. I was wondering if your farm allows H2A workers and if yes, may i please you please provide me with an email adress where i can maybe send my CV for consideration.
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.
