Farming is not just another job. It is a life commitment of hard work, big disappointments, with a few great uplifts. But I am telling you, by God its the best life on this world, for the farmer, his wife and especially the kids. Thank you you people for all you do to feed this country and a big part of the rest of the world.
I love this so much, my grandfather had Cranberry bogs down in Plymouth in the 70's and 80's. We also had hay fields, corn and pumpkins, depending on what my grandfather thought he could sell. Massachusetts farming has a deep history that alot of people dont understand. The money is in dry picked, it is sold as fruit, not juice, the dry picking process is a tedious pain in the ass and the equipment is antiquated to say the least. The bog is considered a wetland and you can't do anything with it, went down this road.
Obviously based on an early comment, not everyone is a fan of the hard working family farmer just trying to make a living. Duffy is a good steward of the land & the family’s animals with a shitload more patience than most of for the struggles that come from farming. Keep on keeping on!
The patience thing is so true: my dad had damaged a rod on our soybean header because of a rock and he wasn’t looking enough for it cause he was dumping on the go with my grandfather driving the grain cart and then he made a sign to my dad and he looked at the rod and stopped the header to go outside to see it closer and when he went back inside the cab, he was so angry that he slammed shut the door fast enough to break it, i was at school and he told me that I think on messenger and took video of it, the thing was that he had to continue harvesting so he made a door with a plywood and a hold on it where he putted a plexiglass, we have it in our shed!
Farming is a life time commitment I was raised on a dairy farm. This was a good damn video. Thank you for making it. When the tractor was leaning into the ditch brought back memories of my dad I use to ride on the back of the tractor holding onto his shoulders when he mow it was a great time. Leaning the other way while the tractor leaned into the ditch. I would laugh and have the best time.
Bruv y’all need an apiary (bees) on your farm, even if you don’t need them for the bogs anymore. They’re incredible for improving yields, not just flowers/fruits/veggies. I started out beekeeping on a pecan orchard and even the hay meadows were happier. Awesome video!
Enjoyed the history lesson on some of your families earlier farming practices. Some people think all they have to do is go down to the grocery store and pick up a package of food. They don't have a clue as to how much time and physical labor goes into getting those cranberries, vegetables, steaks, or those gallons of milk onto the grocery shelves. I really like your videos so keep making them. Maybe some of those people that hasn't a clue as to what all a farmer does in the course of a day will watch and learn where their food actually comes from. Thanks!!!!1
I still drink cranberry juice for taste as well as medicinal . Back ache , urinary track kidneys hurt that stuff will flush you out . Its great in salads as well as a snack . Wish I could come up there and run the bat wing for you . Miss doing that and I wouldn't need a cab since I never had one before lol . Canopy's are nice for a little shade . Thanks for the info on them did not know what went into them . 6 years thats a long term investment for sure . on dikes like that I loved to just let the mowers float did a good job and of course raise them when needed . Useing the water mist to help keep them from freezing is a lot like the citrus crops here in Florida .
Good info on cranberries - here in the CA Central Valley when a freeze is anticipated, the farms leave the sprinklers or drip systems on so the trees or vines will not freeze. In the late 80s, they had a bad freeze and buried the vines so they would not freeze - set them back but they did live. As to the knuckleheads who think food comes from a grocery store, don't worry about them - you have enough else important stuff going on. Keep up the good work
Live in Middleboro cranberries had there high around 2008 $60 barrel since then the market has mostly crashed. hovering around $25-30 a barrel. The land is more valuable for housing if it's upland. If not most are returning to swamps. Kind of sad here south of Boston most farms are gone now. Only 1 dairy farm left in my town.
You are so right about uninformed, ignorant people...like I said if they complain about farmers they’d better not do it with their mouth full...keep it up bud🇺🇸👌🏻🇺🇸”MERICA”
Lmao, your opening comment reminds me of a story, my daughter had a friend stay over a couple years ago, I asked what she likes to eat for dinner. She said "chicken", so that's what I made. After making her a plate, all of a sudden she says "eeewwww it has skin on it!". A few bites later she says "omg there's bones in it" and starts gagging. She asked what I gave her! She actually did not know that chickens were birds, her family only ever ate boneless skinless breast before! Btw, she was 18 years old at the time and thought that farming was unnecessary
Perhapse a conversion for ag use maybe wintergreen or maybe hemp. I know wet land useage and open space verses ag is a war some people just think it all shows up in the grocery store in packages on shelves. Best of luck.
@@DuffyAg Too bad I guess then for get that President/general George Washington was a hemp farmer and so were many many of the founding fathers of our country. Wintergreen also is part of the foundation of our country like corn and certian squash.
mossman 381 family grows cranberries for ocean spray he has a bunch of harvest videos on his channel . i think he said they own a little of the company
You could not just conversationalist talk about seeing deer in front of my rottweiler. He understands pretty much of what we say. Especially if we talk about going to town after something. He will sit and whine by my chair or try to climb in my lap and he weighs 150lbs. So we talk in code very careful what we say and just when you think he is asleep, guess what? He heard you.
Pine island cranberry co. outta chatsworth NJ something like 14,000 acres of bogs. lotta big toys to play with. spent all winter and spring stripping down, refinishing, and planting 40ish acres at a new to us site. owners a hard ass who loves to yell and scream, but unless your crew boss/managment youll rarely see him. honestly confused as hell how they make money with the cash spent on fuel/salary/ect. but it does show in the quality of their equpiment and the things they wont fix just to save a buck.
Lol I rather my entire lawn be a good garden. With some small livestock.. lawns are over rated.. not there yet however broken tractor got a wild lawn with tons of wildflowers and weeds.. areas I do need to address.. but the bees (have two places who produced honey) wild turkeys, deer and the bunnies and woodchucks seem to benifit. Also I own a good amount of grassland species tortoises so free menu for them all summer :)
We just found you through Farming Fixing Fabricating. Your videos are very interesting but we have trouble watching as your head cam spins way too fast☹️ .
You do you Chris, these tree huggers have a way of life. Instead of living it they want to push there beliefs on everyone. But that’s the problem in this country, liberals feel like they know best for everyone and if you don’t go along with them, then your a problem. If I want organic food I’ll raise it on my own. If I want organic meat, I’ll go hunting and harvest a animal for conservation n pure organic. But I won’t push my beliefs on my neighbor, I’ll respect there’s as long as they respect mine. A family member has about 1k acres here in southern Michigan and there doing soybeans n corn. Need to catch up with them to see how many they have now. They started out with 400 or so after his grandfather passed and has leased more land.
I not much of a fan with the head bobbing thing, think a steady cam is better. You know farmers feed cities but cities feed farmers one without the other both would not exist. Never paid much attention to cranberries thanks for the info have a good night.
Enjoy your videos but don't care for your head camera. You are moving so much from side to side it actually makes me dizzy. I was raised in farm and know you must constantly pay attention to your equipment but as a video it is very distracting. Using a steady magnetic mount is much more effective. Not trying to be disrespectful just want your message and content to be informative. Thanks and keep up the good work of informing people where our food comes from.
For all the ones that think farming only exists in a grocery store should be made to work on a farm for one week then they will never question the cause again
People that complain about farming and agriculture being in stores, they are nothing but mindless twaddle. They probably have no clue what an honest days work truly is.
I hate people. They don’t understand we need ag. But they are to concerned with building houses and not having smells from the places that supply us food. Grew up near a wheat, a apple tree, and cow farms. Never bothered any of us. Even worked for them all when I was going through middle and high school.
nice programme one stop useing that head cam so annoying flashing about if you are going to continue please move your head slowly we are trying to watch what you are looking at i switched off after about 3 mins bloddy annoying.
Everything we do has a cause and a effect yours is a negative affect. Please if u have morals stop for the sake of earth and your own health and the innocent victims u kill for no reason
You are more then welcome to come out to our farm on the cape we have 386 acres of bogs might make for a good video
Is this an open invitation by any chance? 😂😂. I’m going to be in the cape Saturday and I’ve always wondered what cranberry farming is like
My family lives in sandwich! If you ever need a hand and I'm around I'd love to come out and learn
Where is ur bogs located we have some In Harwich
Thanks for the history of your days when you grew Cranberries, Very interesting.
Very interesting too hear the story on cranberries,Duffy,dont have them in ireland.🍀🇨🇮🙋♀️
Enjoyed the ride along and a professional tour guide expose on cranberries! Thanks Chris!

Duffy, another informative & entertaining video.
Hi from Denmark 🇩🇰
I look forward to your new videos everyday
Thanks for the cranberry history. I had cranberry honey, enjoyed it.
Some action but great conversation!
Good job man
I used to haul cranberries out of Tomah Wi to Ocean Spray in Bordentown NJ.
you said used to Ill bet you still remember the Old Sandman truck stop lol .
Use to spend every summer growing at my grandparents in Tomah. They lived right on Country ET by the bogs.
80 degree day in Seattle, yet I am inside watching Farming with Duffy AG
Light rain and 55 degrees in Anchorage, here I sit learning about East coast cranberries.
Lol 83 in Yelm and watching east coast cranberries We used to have loads here on the coast too. I used to go out and see all the fields.
@@jaxntax5509 My family had property over in Ocean Shores. Loved all the Cranberries over that way.

If you want less weed pressure in your corn fields and you're only using your corn to chop for feed plan it in 15 inch rows

Interesting cranberry story, you have a very diverse back ground. What happened to your finger?
Man great looking corn ,your going to have trouble finding storage space . Good problem

You should look up Lane Shark to trim limbs on road way.

Leave it to politicians- they’ll f-- it up some way
So with that being said......
28:38 Rocks make the blades stronger! Showin them who the boss is! 🤔
you could do with a hedge cutter
Where is your farm, Duffy? Are you in the USA?
Yes in the USA in Massachusetts
Liquified cow manure! What more could a soil ask for?!?
id like to know where they came up with that name "Ocean Spray" they growning them by the Ocean & the mist from ocean water helped them grow...? lol
So basically there is all that ground that you really can't do shit with and you always need more land that sucks
Some of us DO NOT throw our trash out like some 3rd world country. That sucks.
to cold to grow rice in the bogs?
