- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2019
- Today we picked more tomatoes out of the high tunnel, Then I get into talking how to make money grown tomatoes. The 1st most important thing is you have to find your market, Then pricing, Growing methods, then demand. We sell lots of tomatoes farm, we sell 1500 to 2000 lbs of tomatoes a week. Spread through different farmers markets.
If you have any questions let me know!

This kid is smart, hardworking.. I like that in young people.. he prob has the sweetest girl in town.. keep it up bro... Grow some Jalapenos.. $$$$$
There's not too many young people getting into farming anymore keep up the good work
He didn’t just “get into” farming. They’re already an orchard operation.
Because a huge number of farmers struggle and barely make it these days. alot have to work jobs still

Well usually happened when the government turns its back on home farms and let corporations take over the entire mid west
I'm just starting in farming, the key is to stay small to medium size, grow high demand produce and flowers. The demand for local organic food has been on the rise the past ten years.
Loving this channel... 34 year old male nurse with 3 kids... Finally have land to start my dream of farming... You are teaching me a lot... Keep it up bud
I'm glad I can share my knowledge with you!
Paul Novak I’m a 30 year old nurse just finished my FNP only to be able to buy land faster than my RN salary and start my dream. Best of luck to you!!
Good luck to all..
I am an RN, I just get a 25 acres and I am. going to follow my dream ,working with plants and making $$$.. stress less...
How's it going a year later?
I'm also a male nurse, NICU is my area. I'm also a veteran and trying to transition to farming with prn nursing in the side. How has the past two years been?
love how open you are with the specifics, thanks!
We got our high tunnel through a grant too, but hurricane winds came through and ripped it to shreds a few years later. in 2019, we re-built it and used it for my wedding reception before getting it replanted in the fall. :) Thank you so much for your practical wisdom. We're going to try and sell tomato plants this year.
Absolutely subscribed!!! I’m 22 and have been dying to get into farming since I was 16, I love plants more than anything, idky 😂 I just love plants. it’s hard for young people to get into farming unless you where born into it. I finally got some land in Oklahoma and am gonna start growing and see how it goes
Blessings on this endeavor, I've been pondering the same.
Thanks for helping folks learn about farming.
Got to give a big THANKYOU to 10th Generation Dairyman for telling about this channel...this great channel. Also very super great.
It sounds like a family effort. Like the storage, warehouse, equipment, ect.. you are a hard working man who is making the place happen but also a very lucky man to have such a great base to start with. Looks like tomatoes can be a great business! Im very jealous
Thanks for the support on my channel!
We
Love it! Making money in an hinest wholesome way!
it's good to see a young guy with good practical common sense on farming and business.
Thanks buddy. I now grow a lot of tomatoes and quadrupled what I was getting from my previous salary in a US Base. God bless you.
Are you big on social media? How do you market your product? I would love to do something like that. Sounds interesting. Janice
do you pay taxes and if so how much?
@Steven Thompson it is also illegal not to py taxes
@Steven Thompson at least where i am fro. If you make a certi. amout of money selling vegatbles or just anything you need to report it or something im mot an expert. And even if taxes are theft its still the law sadly
@Steven Thompson you know i cant disagree with you on that
Was totally thinking of doin this actually hence me finding ur vid. Ima use san marzanos and a few others that are indeterminate..theyll grow all spring thru fall!
Where do u grow the weed though?
in his extra "storage shed" in the back
@@locomotive5A there's never an extra shed when you're growing weed.
@@growjaysimpson4646 exactly it’s just “the” shed.
@@growjaysimpson4646 this guy gets it
@@growjaysimpson4646 except in California 🤪
Definitely going to try that red deuce next year. They appear to stay short and are FULL of tomatoes. Will be great for my little home garden. Thanks!
Do it, the best tomatoes ever!
would love to hear the story of how your family started the orchard! I think this could be a video where you get multiple of your family members in on it!
Starting my own small farm this yr hoping in a few yrs to be able to go to farmers markets still have alot to learn. But i do have a nice piece of land up here in north MO
I just started my first garden this year and its going very well so far here in to july. Mostly tomatoes some cucumbers and peppers. But i love growing tomatoes id love to somehow make a business like you have going. This first garden was a good start just 20 tomato plants purple cherokees, big boys, and some cherry tomatoes.
I love your video on tomatoes. You sir are a very hard worker.
I am trying to get into farming now, I am actually a critical care nurse and the pandemic has taken its toll on me, looking for a a nice piece of land to start my very own farm. I have so many questions haha and this videos definitely helps thank you!
We just finished our first high tunnel which was purchased with an NCRS grant.
Super stuff as normal. Glad you explained a little more on the background and history of this set up. That’s a great 👍 harvest rating for the toms and as you day you pay for the quality. Obviously I grow for myself, family and friends but I also pass on produce to others and they donate for the various charities I believe in such as cancer research etc keep up the good work cheers 🍻
Thanks man!
One day I’m gunna do this I’m already quarter way of saving for my first greenhouse build and property
Wow, amazing, this is awesome
So much respect for farmers 👍👍
Thanks for sharing and being so transparent
New sub here
Hey bro i am a young farmer to good work bro, i learm you can use steel aswell cuz u know the wood wears away, n if u get it copper based uk tomatoes need copper so its a win win. Thanks for the tips bro one love, stay growing. This inspired me to start my channel to
Great video 👍🏼very informative!
very informative! keep up the good work!!👊🏼👊🏼
👍👍
@@farmerdre1 how many people do you employ to run the project?
Great info! 💚
Can do talk about your future plans next? Do you play on expanding, doing your own thing? Building that empire. Keep up the great vids
Also be wary the music is always like 3x as loud as your voice. Have to keep turning up and down.
@@Slava-ukraini_ I need to get a mic so that's the problem!
awesome work man, hoping to start a small business like this with my aunt
How has it been ?
WISH YOU THE BEST
Love your site! Teach me..I wanna learn from the best!! You!
Looks ideal if you've got the climate, commercial tomato growing where I am is pretty restricted to greenhouses which is a big investment
Love it man, good stuff
Great videos! My new favorite channel
Thanks
Nice videos man you share a lot of good info
Great video, please also show how you remove those stakes? Do you have a video on how you start your tomatoes from seed?
I will in the fall. I have a video I did earlier this year on starting the seeds
Brilliant bro 👏 i myself love growing food show that you can make a beautiful life working the ground
I've never had good tomatoes in the usa always to wattery imo. Only tomatoes I like are the ones that people get seeds from Belarus and plant them in their back yards, much more solid and flavorful.
Which variety do they grow? Appreciate your time
Excellent channel.
Lol,
I sell + - 40 lbs every saturday in front of my house that I grow all year around.
5 bucks per pound...sell out in 30 minutes
Extra cash 😁😁
This is what I want to do! If you ever want to give advice to someone starting out I’d love to listen and learn!!
hey farmer dre, what plastic/fabric did you use to cover the ground and then were able to burn the holes in?
Awesome stuff.
In palisade, Colorado where some of the best peaches in the world are grown, 2020 was a bad year. They lost 60% of the crop due to a freeze.
seems more real/genuine with weeds showing.
Yeah but you have to pick them out so they don’t rob nutrients from your plants
How do you keep bugs off of your field tomatoes? We want to do organic, so anything natural would be best for us.
High brix levels, sealed indoor/greenhouse with controlled environment, and there's usually organic insect and bug spray, you can also get natural predators for whatever you're trying to get rid of.
Hey great vid ! Idk much about farming but super interested atm. How long does it take after planting the seed for it to grow big enough to produce tomatoes? And how long do you wait after you pick tomatoes from a branch for it to regrow again ?
I am starting to grow tomatoes and blackberries mostly. I have 12.5 acres to play with of family land.
You are doing good job.
Your actually pretty local to me that’s awesome!
Thanks for the video, I sub'd, I like to grow tomatoes but we get hot here Zone 9, 90 to 115 degrees for 4 months 30% humidity, I am thinking about doing some shade structure.
the people probably want sweet corn too! especially this time of the year! used to see these stands on the sides of the road farmers sold them direct to people driving but you have to find a good location that cops or state highway workers wont kick you off
Nice presentation...!!!
Wow, you must be rich!!! Making that tomato money!
Naw man, farming is expensive!!
Yip. Takes hard work and have a passion for it.
I am never to old to learn something when it comes to growing food! But must say "I think I grow a better tasting tomato then anyone " );
Excellent, informative video A+++
very good mate
we love farming
Awesome video!
New sub here. Great operation!
Tons and tons of tomatoes 👍
Came over from The Veggie Boys!
Thanks
You should do workshops like Curtis stone. You should do a farm day with each other
Wow good for you
Awesome
Cherry Tomato Varieties are more resistant to Blights, and produce well up into Fall.
💪🏼 Good Video 🇺🇸
My man jimbo!
Red Deuce.. That's what I should call my beets! 😂
I love the way you explain things, thanks a lot man, question please!
Where are you located? Thanks
Southwest Missouri
@@farmerdre1 what type plastic cover are you using?
I'm a year late to your video. It is an awesome video.
Would you post a link . To the farmers helping site . In order to get a hoop house . For the beginning farmer. Thanks again.
in ruskin florida they pick tomatoes when they are green then gas them
I sell mine 1.25lb all day everyday. The reason anything more is too expensive is most people who buy bulk are buying for canning. If its cheaper to buy double the amount at superstore already canned people don't buy them here.
Good on ya for living in an area where prices do good!
Well done Sir, I always gained a lot from your videos, please help me to provide answer to this question. Is prone my tomatoes time to time necessary in achieving great harvest/ higher yield?
Have you use any kind of pest control at all on those tomato plants
Almost at 1k subs man!
Can't wait
How do you harden off all of the field tomato plants?
Hi, digit from Europe here, a curiosity: how many greenhouses are you using for the tomatoes, and how many square meter they cover (each one)?
Hello, I'm from Ukraine, good video like subscription! I wanted to ask if it makes sense now to start a greenhouse business in the United States with tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. What is the situation with the sale of finished products?
I know of another plant u can make 5k a week off of with alot fewer plants......
If you could guide me it would be very helpfull and thankfull
* would you recommend growing infabric growing bags
* and what soil would you prefer if so sir thank you
I sell heirloom tomatoes $3/lb in Sacramento, California. People complain about the prices but they always come back.
Great video. Where do you buy the enclosed plastic area?
Great video! How much area is under your high tunnels?
Awesome bro....your a #badassdude !
Sweet video
Solar poweered radiant floor heat would be boss for green house
How are you dealing with the white flies? I have a huge problem with them
Like most younger business people they completely forget to include cost. Labor is your number one cost. I can guarantee you don't grow your tomatoes for 20-30 cents a pound. I love the channel.
if you do the labor yourself it is indeed free. Sure time costs something but all it costs is what youd rather be doing so no monetary cost.
@@65stang98 You made my point for me. You work for free!
take a shot every time he says tomatoes. . . XD
A lot work 😀
Are you able to grow the same variety of tomatoes year after year in the same ground. Reason I'm asking is normally when growing crops you rotate what you are growing so that you don't have problems with pests and diseases.
You are doing a great job there as well as putting up videos in your channel.
You can send off soil samples and find out exactly what dry amendments you need to add. That’ll prepare the soil to exactly what a tomato plant needs
This helped a lot thank you new subbie😊
How come you prefer this over single stemming in the high tunnel?
We are one of the best manufacturers of greenhouse hot air furnaces in Iran and we export
I like farming so much it's in me
Man I’m not to far from you. Love what your doing and have similar desires to do the same thing. I also shop at Morgan county seed ;)
Where do you live?

WHAT BRAND GREENHOUSE IS THAT? i LIKE ALL THE BRACING.
NO joke, you can land a role in a Hollywood Italian Gangster movie.. A Capo role, even an boss or under boss.. Thanks for the videos they are very informative..
