Planting Strawberries

Watch as the team plants a few acres of strawberries for next year's crop. These Mary Peak and Albion strawberries will not have fruit until next season, and the plants will grow fruit for about two years before needing to be planted with new plants. This slow process proves worth it as strawberries are one of our customers favorite berries to pick. #oregon #farmer #farming #strawberry #plantin...

Knee high by the 4th of July

Grandpa always said the sign of a good corn crop was if it was knee high by the 4th of July. Watch here as Jay is planting our sweet corn crop to sell this summer at the farm store. Any day he gets to sit in a tractor to plant something or work the ground is a good day. Who doesn't love sweet corn come summer time?

What's a blackcap? Pruning one of our unique crops.
Просмотров 1777 месяцев назад
Watch as the team machine prunes our blackcaps and Jayson discuss what our farm uses most of our black cap crop for. Black caps are a black raspberry used mainly for dye purposes but are a very healthy berry because they are the highest in antioxidants. We use them to make one of our most popular jams sold in our farm store. #farming #familyfarming #farmkid #pruning #blackcaps #berries #winter ...

Join and Jay, George, and I for a beautiful day on the farm. The sunshine made for a perfect day to fertilize the fescue grass. It was also an interesting day on the farm, Jay found himself in a little bit of a pickle when he had an accident with the buggy.

As a farm we have always tried to diversify and have different sources of revenue throughout the year to keep our crews busy and the bills paid. Around 20 years ago we started making wattles with our hay products. Companies purchase the wattles for different reasons, but manly to help with erosion. Watch as Jay walks us through the team’s process to making these wattles and learn about how we h...

Tried something different this week while we had some wet weather and sat down in the office to ask Jayson and Jay a few questions. I always find it so fascinating to listen to them both reflect on their farming careers, poke fun at each other and share the highs and lows of what they do. They both have such a passion for the farm, we are excited to do this more and have you all get to know the...

Transplanting and pruning blueberry bush
OMG, those little fellows are so adorable! What great helpers!
Nice to see you training the next generation of farmers❤
What a delightful farm! We had the pleasure of visiting this bustling place today. Hardworking folks, with a great sense of humor. Delightful experience, thank you for all your hard work!!
More close ups you may as well have been cutting a hedge for all we could see. Wasted tutorial im afraid.
Hard working and dedicated men.
how do you keep the birds from eating your crop? I have a small patch (8 bushes) and if I don't cover them, the birds will get every berry. I live in VA.
Thanks for sharing. I had no idea this is how strawberry planting on that large of scale was done.
We are happy you enjoyed. It’s so fun to watch the process behind farming operations for us too!
The strawberry farm that is the closest to us in Northern Kentucky, looks like a child's beginner garden compared to your strawberry fields. Wow, it is beautiful.
Thank you! We take pride in our fields and appreciate you commenting and noticing. Oregon strawberries are also so delicious.
You are! Dad says it’s a more “old school” approach to making sure he centered on the row and marking where he needs to be. Jayson uses more GPS when marking his rows, but dad prefers this approach.
What is the purpose for the little arm that sticks out? I’m thinking it creates a guide line for the tractor to center on the next time down the line… am I close?
Looks great. Jay has his little buddies out there with him. What a great Papaw.
Laying tiles???? Looks like plastic perforated land drainage pipe. Tile drains don't look like that or come in big plastic rolls
Thanks for the video! I live in the area and have a legacy with a few dukes. This is perfect!
I have a group of blue berry bushes that have grown huge plants, almost tree like. Could I use a chain saw and cut them back to waist high without killing them?
What is the black mulch on top of the blueberry bushes
We make our own compact on the farm that we put on all our blueberries. It’s a mix of yard debris and leaves.
Hi whats your best producing northern high bush? mine are duke and Elliot, cheers
For us it is our Duke variety.
So neat! I had no idea you guys did so much. Really enjoying learning all about it.
Thank you! We are enjoying sharing with everyone.
Wattle was originally a dialect word for willow in the UK, a very flexible wood initially used for fencing hurdles. These then proved suitable for infill for wooden frame buildings, which were then chinked with mud in a very similar way to frontier log cabins in the US. This was called wattle and daub, and is the origin of the US term mudding for plastering internal walls. You've branched wattle for roads from fencing wattle.
Great information! Thank you :)
why blurry the bushes, we can't see what's going on :(
We had a little trouble with our camera during this video. We are doing another video of pruning our legacy plants and will post that soon. Thank you for your understanding.
Very well thought out
Thank you. Jay is always great and talking through the process of things and really shows how much he enjoys what he does.
Enjoyed the video and learning a little more about the farm.
@@davedixon508 we are so glad! Subscribe if you haven’t yet and keep following along. As spring and summer come there will be lots more to share on the farm.
25 percent of the plant (the oldest part) should be cut out every year. Gives a new plant t every 4 years..
Yes, that is what we recommend on established blueberries. We like to see a healthy amount of new shoots and few old hard wood shoots on a plant. That gives the best possibility for yield output. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video! I have two dukes and a legacy and would love tips on how to prune the legacy.
Great suggestion! We will post a video about this soon with tips on how to prune a legacy plant.
Sorry for the delay! Here is the video for you with some tips. We also are happy to email back and forth if you have more questions. ruclips.net/video/KFf9b-Oy1YQ/видео.html
@@HoffmanFarmsandStore This video is great! thanks so much!
Wonderful! Reach out if you need any other help.
I guess you don’t have problem with birds eating your berries, I did not see any nets…
Birds are sadly a huge problem, we loose fruit each year to them but try to use less invasive tactics. For example we use predator noise speakers to deter the birds in our fields. They help, but it’s still something we fight each season.
nice video sir please make a video how to prepare soil for blueberry farm
Thank you for the suggestion, we can totally talk about how we prepare the soil to plant berries and the mulch we use when we plant.
What soil do you use and do you use it every year?
@@rockyal5306 we use a homemade compact that we make on the farm. It’s a mix of yard debris and leaves. Yes, we use it every year on the blueberries.
Solid Video.. Thanks..
Hey there! Hopefully you guys still see this: I'm growing in the Seattle Washington area and my four blueberry bushes are on the Southside of my house so they get all the sun. One of them is a wild blueberry bush I found in a stump on our property and transplanted. The other three are I believe a liberty or a legacy, a pink lemonade blueberry, and I can't remember what the other one is. Last year only the wild bush fruited and the other three only gave me leaves. I made sure to fertilize in spring with an acid fertilizer from down to earth fertilizers. They always had water as I had a soaker hose under wood chip mulch. What can I do to increase the odds of getting fruit? Anything maybe I did wrong or should be doing?
We are always happy to help. Jayson, who is pruning in the video you watched had a few tips for you. Fruiting issues starts with pruning and how the bush is managed throughout the winter. Blueberries set the fruit buds in the late summer and fall of the previous year. Putting on fertilizer too late into the summer can make the plant not set fruit for the following year as the plant wants to grow instead of set the buds. Be careful to not over fertilize and to not over prune and remove the fruiting buds in the winter. There is resources at WSU and OSU for fertilizer rates by variety. They give out recommendations that is in line with what commercial growers even use. If you have more questions or would like more detailed help please email us at hello@hoffmanfarmsstore.com and we would be happy to help more.
So cool!! I love seeing the crimson clover in my drive into town. How many different fields do you manage?
We love the crimson clover fields in the spring. So beautiful. We have 15 fields of red clover and crimson for a total of 550 acres.
It has been a very wet January 🌧 The buggy and technology is impressive. 🚜I am hopeful the clover will provide a bountiful harvest, thanks to Jayson's efforts. 🌾
I hope so too! Thanks for watching and keep following along.
Great info, would love to see some more close up shots as you trim. Thanks for the video.
Great idea! I will see if I can get some filmed if the crew is still pruning some of our fields.
So satisfying! 😍
It is so magical to watch from above. Thank you for watching, more to come :)
do southern highbush drop their leaves? cause i have o neal and jubilee and its droped i just wanna know why
Our southern high bush varieties do not drop their leaves, but if it gets cold enough they will drop some of their leaves. If you want to talk more about the varieties you have and questions email us at hello@hoffmanfarmsstore.com
Bushes? Wtf I’m here for the busy
We appreciate your comic relief :) I can't believe I missed that error.
Hi neighbor! (We live near Petrich’s 😊) Was out trying to prune my blueberries last week and found myself forgetting all the tips you gave me last spring when I picked up bushes from you 🤦🏼♀️. This video was very helpful, thanks!
Wonderful! Feel free to always email us at hello@hoffmanfarmsstore.com for extra help.
