Thank you for getting the facts out. I'm up here in S.C.. Northeast part of the State. I wish I could get down there. Maybe sometime in the future. Take care God bless and keep em coming!😊
A great discussion! I stopped by your market last Saturday and purchased some cream peas. You were very busy shelling peas. While waiting for the peas, I did have a great conservation with another customer (Matt) about the area and your channel. Thanks again Matt! We have already enjoyed the peas! Take care and be safe....
Just click on tiny pic of me in bottom left corner of the video you’re watching. It takes you straight to the page. The name of my page is written across the screen on the video you’re watching
@@michaelgillespie6850 once shelled the peas have to be kept below 50 degrees. My wife has priced out the shipping for others. It was over $100 shipping not including the ice chest and dry ice/or freezer packs. The local canning plant (featured in some of my videos) can blanch the peas and put them in cans and then they can be shipped without worrying about temperature/time. The cans are around $1.25 each not including the blanching process or my peas.
@@PatrickShivers well then cans will be they way to go , who would we contact about 75 cans of zipper peas and a list of anything else they do, what about green peanuts when the time comes can we ship those.? Thanks for the help and really enjoy your videos I really miss the area
Hey Patrick, how are you doing? This is Cornelius Key. I ran across your videos earlier this week and I kept hearing you talk about the soul and I said South Georgia that has got to be Calhoun Blakely Dawson because I know about that red clay we’re down in Baker County at a small family phone called Key Farms in Leary Ga. It’s good to see some South Georgia farmers on the Internet.
@@PatrickShivers yes sir I’m enjoying your channel. Is good to let people know about what’s really going on down here in South Georgia. A lot of farmers are struggling to make ends meet and being forced out. I really like that section where you were talking about perpetual foreman a perpetual harvesting like you know more about that so maybe I can come over and see your operation. Keep the videos coming, sir. I know it’s a lot of work.
When i first moved to GA in 2000 I couldn't believe the price of southern peas. Didn't take long till I figure out all the work involved. Worth every penny for that goodness.
Fertilizer is custom blend per soil sample analysis. Yield per acre is in the video after that one. I show the entire process of certifying the yield (76 bushels/acre)
Fertilizer was custom blend per soil test. Broadcast pre-plant and incorporated. Yield per acre was in another video, I document the entire certification process. I think it was 76 bushels
We do green beans around Mother’s day. Any planted that would ripen much later than that experience to much heat here to yield acceptable harvest. These are all Southern peas of the variety “Top Pick Cream.”
No. At the row where they meet there is a sharp 18” difference in height and worm pressure immediately changes from moderate to 0. If they had cross pollinated the rows where they met would have shared some traits, meaning the height difference wouldn’t be as pronounced and the worm contamination/resistance would have been intermingled. Most of the corn (of both varieties) is going to the same place at harvest time also
Amazing! I knew you'd be happy with hybrid85. Up here in WI been having excellent luck and yield. Especially with drought last yr. Will never go back to the big name seed. No issues with weeds, bugs, worms or grass. CapenoGt and Primero worked for me for herbicide.
No those were sweet peas harvested in early spring. These came from 2 different farms that don’t process (shell, clean, & retail bag). They hand pick and wholesale while I focus on processing and retailing. Deer ate all my southern peas & green beans. I will be harvesting my own butterbeans next week.
Pre-plant twice incorporate yellow chemical (prowl or sonolan) at opposite angles. Make sure it is a shallow (2”) even incorporation. Plant the same day in enough moisture to get them up. If you get the rainfall they will canopy quick enough to avoid major weed issues, some years I have to plow middles once, but if you’re machine pick you want to avoid that. Main thing is never let weeds seed out on your land NO MATTER WHAT. Even at the cost of some of your crop, do whatever you can to get rid of weeds before they go to seed.
@@PatrickShiverswe used a tank mix of Princep and Atrex for years for a combo punch on grass and broadleaf. Only pulled a cultivator through it once at lay by. We tried our best to eliminate the cultivator altogether, because a row crop cultivator is the worst thing in the world to scatter nutgrass and johnsongrass all over a field. If we have to go back to the cultivator, I'm afraid 30 years of hard work on nutgrass control will go out the window.
