Patrick there ain't nothing feels better than slidding those shrimp boots on been a n them since the 70s.You have a crop of peas son! And more good things are coming God bless you and yours.
Folks around here call those boots “Eastpoint Rebooks” after all the oyster men in Eastpoint (Apalachicola), Florida. I where them every morning until the dew dries off.
Aww Patrick, you stayed humble, trusted the Lord, and here you are. God is good, faithful and kind! I HAVE to remind myself, often, that failures are for a good reason, along with delays. Even though they can pinch your hiney!! 😣😆 Just keep thanking the Lord in ALL things.
Amen brother! God is great and is always in control! He knows what hes doing. We just have to trust him. Its great to see his blessings. Live your channel. Great videos.
Take it from someone who has, at the same time as you, has been growing peas. That Top Pic is hard to beat, but if when your Sa Dandy's are around 4" tall, spray Pro gib 4 (gibberellic acid) at a rate of 4 oz to the acre and again at layby, EVERY pea in the field will be the same age, and they look better in the plastic bags. They do not turn in the bag. I also pick with a BH100, and that Sa Dandy gives a little more time to get them picked instead of going dry overnight.
So happy for you. You were so down after last year I honestly didn't expect to see you growing peas again this year. Glad our prayers worked for you man!
It is not going to be long before handpick no longer becomes viable. Been issues all over getting crews this year. Ain't going to get any better anytime soon either by the looks of it. Cant say I blame them, I hate picking peas too, I wonder if a lay down harvester or picking assistant type machine would make it easier to get ahold of a hand crew.
Seems to be coming along well! I have to ask who you moved to Nashville with? That pea/bean picker seems to be the way to go when labor isn’t available.
My friend Kyle Everson. He is a studio and touring musician. He cut the dobro parts of Barefoot Bluejean Night by Jake Owen. He’s toured with ZZ Topp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jake Owen, Kieth Urban, Luke Bryan, Billy Currington, Chris Young, Lonestar, & many others. He’s currently touring with Martina McBride and doing session work when not on the road.
The produce is extremely labor intensive. 10 acres of produce = 1,000 acres row crop. If I can ever get completely set up to run the produce it would be great. I’m close, just not quite there.
Great verse. Today we studied how sometimes you have to go down in order to go up. Joseph was thrown down in the well, sold into slavery down in Egypt, and then was sent down to prison, before becoming the most powerful man in all of Egypt. Iron sharpens iron. The Lord has to refine you in order to sharpen into a tool for doing His work.
Yes. I showed some in the shorts I posted, as well as the crop update video, and the video documenting planting the pea crop. This year the purples made heavy and machine harvested great.
Yes sir , awesome to see that equipment in action!! 🚜
Plus working properly!!
Great looking crop Patrick..what a Blessing 🙌

Great job Patrick.
So glad your prayers were answered! God is awesome!!
Good looking crop and a really nice operation.
The crop was good, the verdict is still out on the operation
Thank you Patrick for praising our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! You will be rewarded for that my friend. God bless you all

@@jetoole2005 thanks for the info

Wow - those look amazing. My mouth is watering thinking about them.
Patrick, I am glad that you have a good crop. My guess is you may have a decent corn crop with the rain you have so far.
Corn looks exceptional. The kernels are starting to dent so we are past the water need hurdle
Looking good

I’m not making any plans for hand crews again
Do you ever have an issue with bacterial blight in your peas? If so, do you use a copper product?
Never had issues, or heard of anyone having issues with that.
Howdy Patrick
Hello, Patrick! Peas do not grow in supermarket's shelves...
Seems to be coming along well! I have to ask who you moved to Nashville with? That pea/bean picker seems to be the way to go when labor isn’t available.

Patrick, I have a question for you. What do you prefer farming, the produce or the row crops? Seems like the produce is very labor intensive.
The produce is extremely labor intensive. 10 acres of produce = 1,000 acres row crop. If I can ever get completely set up to run the produce it would be great. I’m close, just not quite there.
Great video Patrick! Romans 8:28

Do you plant purple hulls?
Yes. I showed some in the shorts I posted, as well as the crop update video, and the video documenting planting the pea crop. This year the purples made heavy and machine harvested great.
