I started picking Butterbeans today

I hope you will continue to show us your traditional cooking. It’s better than watching all those world famous chefs . Also your traditional attire and lifestyle are so wholesome , healthy and peaceful. It’s very soothing watching your videos . And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

Hello, Patrick! It's never boring, listening your explanations...

Thanks for watching & commenting. Most of my “steers” are actually bulls b/c I got behind on cow work this year. It’s going to be a shame to butcher a couple of them instead of using them for breeding.

Good morning Patrick, status on the 2024 sweet pea crop with your Fla. partner, been quiet. As usual, always enjoy the videos.

We got 3 separate showers today. I pulled the picker in the rain harvesting Butterbeans. My dad said it’s the wettest growing season of his lifetime.

Your pea season reminds me of our sweet corn harvest. I grow 10 acres of sweet corn planted every week for 5 weeks. Me and my Wife pick harvest and sell 20000 ears a week. My phone never stops. People show up 9pm banging on my door. Crazy

I’ve had numerous people ask me to get into that business. Seems very labor intensive and requires a lot of refrigeration.

It took awhile. Before we ever start picking I have 40000 ears sold. So I pick a wagon full 6am bring it home put in shade . Go get another one by the time we open. We will sell over 3000 ears by 12pm. We have a 12 ft walk in cooler. I rarely can fill it up because of demand. It is labor intensive honestly the spraying for corn worms is the worst part. You can clear $7000.00 a week if can live thru it.

Then 2 weeks later the cantaloupe and watermelons come in and 2 weeks after that the tomatoes start. 60 years old and can't wait.

I enjoy your videos about growing vegetables. Wish I was closer, I would be a frequent customer but I live in Michigan. We go to a pea farm about 60 miles from where we live for fresh peas. There's should be ripe in about a week.

My wife, 2 daughters, mom, & mom in law just got back from Michigan. I’m a fan of M-State football b/c Sparty is the ag school and because a Wolverine once called them “little brother.”…….and then got beat by the Spartans 3 years in a row😂. Being the underdog is the foundation that Erk Russell built my alma mater’s football program on.

You can order these same seeds on the internet. “Quickpick pinkeye purple hull”peas & “top pick cream” peas. They are both determinate and high yielding.

Getting ready for pea season 2024! How well do the peas usually shell out for you? As far as pounds of shelled peas per bushel? I know a bushel is 8lbs but sometime I have zippers shell out to 11-12 pounds and white acres shell out at 7-9 lbs. thanks!

Well, I'm glad you said that about the grass fed beef! We got some NY Strips and T-bones ( to test) a few weeks back. They looked great, smelled great. The taste was excellent. But, even at med. rare...we had a hard time chewing them! Just like shoe leather! Thanks for verifying that for me! And, I KNOW how to cook a good steak! But, the steak has to be good, first! Have you noticed they have everyone programmed to marinate, and heavy season the meats now? A great steak should only ever need salt and pepper!

Hi Patrick, I just started with pea farming. I bought an existing pea farm so far it is only hand pick. People like the in shell peas. Does the shell get a lot of damage? Do you sell them also shelled?

@PatrickShivers

Ай бұрын

I only sell shelled peas. The machine harvest peas have no damage from harvesting. The only difference is the machine picks everything and hands are selectively pick

Seems like all it does is rain. As I am watching this video it looks like it getting ready to rain again. I am guessing its rain at your place now since most times my storms come through your county first.. Looks like you got some good length on your peas, hope you get a huge harvest. Your cow sure seems friendly enough. When I was in the 3rd grade I screwed up and cornered a bull which ran me over turning my upper leg from about my knee to my hip back and blue. I have been afraid of cows/bulls ever since then. However, I love a good tender steak so I guess eating one is my revenge ...lol..... Hope all is well elsewhere on the farm and family. PS off topic I watched one of your videos of you shooting hogs with the AR, what cal and bullet type are you using? Looked like you got a great knock down on them. Tom

Flat green beans are Roma II. My machine harvestable green peas, or “little cream peas” as my customers call them, are Top pick cream, SaDandy, or Elite depending on the year and what’s available.
