Thanks Becky.

My grandmother grew up in the countryside of the state of Virgi,. She and my great-grandmother used to make pig feet in the oven. It's awesome to see how others on the other side of the globe in a different culture make them. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

You are a real farmer! Great info. I like the idea that you don’t only share your hiking adventures but also your beans adventures. This is amazing!

Only get one picking when using a machine...but the varieties I use are designed for only one harvest. Sometimes we can get 200-300 bu per acre. Thanks for watching Angel!

Look at Joel he's eating your profits again 🤣🤣😂🤣

Hi Jason when the beans go over the vibrating table don't any good beans drop thru the gaps where the small broken ones drop out? They sure look nice beans, do you grow Paulista? I grow 2 traditional English varieties, Stanley and Montano, but I have also successfully grown Paulista which I believe is an American variety.

@jasonwish-

2 жыл бұрын

I am not familiar with any of those varieties, I have planted about 15 different ones over the years and Valentino is by far the best one for us on our farm. Those gaps can be moved to be larger or smaller and only a few good beans fall through and we will often put a tub underneath to catch them and dump them back through. On a 50 bushel harvest we might have 2 bushels on the floor that are broken bits

Would you share the varieties you grow? you have amazing farm system. Thanks for sharing.

Valentino is by far our favorite variety, we have tried about a dozen others, but we always come back to that one, at least for our farm.

Very nice 😊 but from the looks of it too many beans are on the shaker table how can debris on the top pile pass through to exit would you get a cleaner harvest if less beans were on the shaker table. Or is it industry standard to have the beans loaded in. @ my job it’s the same way

Its not normally that full, we can easily regulate the amount of beans coming through...if they are super clean we load it way up to speed up the process, if they are full of debris and leaves we slow it way down

What row spacing do you plant your beans? And do you not have a problem with the beans being wet going into the cooler?

We plant on 30 inch rows using the same JD planter we use on sweet corn but obviously we switch over to bean cups. Have never had a problem with wet beans....they dry right off by the next day...actually helps them stay turgid and firm longer since the coolers tend to draw moisture out of the produce.

I would start with checking with Oxbo, the company that manufactures the Pixall bean harvesters. If you are looking for used ones I would check with Market Farm Implement in PA. If you just google what you are looking for several dealer sites should pop up that carry these items. Hope that helps.

So can you say what variety of beans. I am guessing its a variety that makes all at the same time for you to be using a machine?

@jasonwish-

Жыл бұрын

The varieties we use can also be used for home gardeners, they will continue to set new beans after being picked but they are definitely better at placing the beans up higher on the plant and all coming on at once which is obviously what we want for machine, harvest. Our favorite variety by far after trialing dozens is Valentino. There are many other great varieties out there, but this one does best for us on our farm

Would that harvester have the ability to be adjusted higher to pick beams off of a raised plastic mulch bed?

No, I do not believe it would, I think it would completely gouge into the bed even in the raised position.

What is the reasoning for sorting the broken beans? Is it strictly aesthetics, or will the broken ones not last as long?

@jasonwish-

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, mainly asthetics. And after a few days the broken ends will start to look old and slightly shriveled. If the beans are really clean we will just direct pack them from the field into crates and when we put them out for sale on the farmers market tables we will just pick out any really small bits, weeds or other debris that may have gotten in.

Which herbicides do you use?

@jasonwish-

Жыл бұрын

Dual 2 mag, command 3 me, sandea/permit preplant. If we need a post plant spray we use raptor + basagran, but usually not needed if preplant is timed well with rain and it depends on the time of year...early plantings will often need a post but later plantings never do. If weeds are burned down well at planting that makes a big difference as well for keeping a weed free planting. We use generics on all of those herbicides mentioned.

What is the best way to determine pricing? Both wholesale and retail.

@jasonwish-

3 жыл бұрын

When we are short on our own beans we will often buy them from the local terminal or from another large grower so we always have a pretty good idea of what the current wholesale price is. I have seen them as high as $40 a crate and as low as 11. It all kind all depends on what the supply and demand is in other nearby states that are ahead of our growing season. For retail we just put 1 pound in a quart container and sell them for three dollars each and if someone wants to buy them loose by the pound we sell them for 250 a pound. This is what we’ve stuck with for the last five years and it’s kind of the price ceiling at the moment for green beans.
