Florida Cucumber Harvest

[Music] hi everyone hope everybody's having a good day we are planting cotton and picking cucumbers over here so we've seen a bunch of cotton this year let's go check out some cucumbers all right everybody welcome well we are in the cab of a cucumber harvester with my good buddy jamie peeler he's uh picking the cucumbers and what should we talk about so you guys get in here early in the morning and then you just drop the head and it scoops them up and puts them in the basket pretty much you just kind of watch your head make sure you ain't going too low too high just keep your head make sure you ain't leaving none under your belt right make sure the ground's clean behind you yep what's the biggest mess up you've ever had picking cucumbers [Music] yeah these machines are massive it looks like a lot now didn't you say you don't grease anything on these machines like something that sometimes you do this about involvement it seems to when you get in rainy when you pick it in the mud and the sand right it just gets in these bears nobody's griezing yeah so you called yourself more arm freezing just letting it roll i thought there's some really good questions out there i'm just not thinking of them all right jamie i appreciate it bud i'll let you get back to work we're just standing still right now everybody's working we're just hanging out [Music] [Music] perfect hey guys all right get you called up they got all the cucumbers picked so now we're trying to get everything dissed and kyle had a baron go out on our 6 30 26 foot disc we got it fixed the spindle looks terrible but hopefully it's going to hold on i'm headed now to the strip till to strip till it and then as soon as we get done with all that we're going to finish planting cotton kefi planted about 46 acres or so here then we got a rain so we had to quit uh and yeah now we're back at it so headed that way if you haven't done it already please subscribe to our channel give it a like if you want to if not not a big deal this tire was leaking but i plugged it so hopefully it's gonna the plug is gonna stay crank this ac up it's hot all right she's folded out ready to roll and this cotton here was just planted uh the other day so you can tell it's already coming up you got your little baby cotton there you go little baby cotton already coming up so it doesn't take long about four days and she's already on top of the dirt looking good there's kyle over there distant [Music] [Music] look at all the flaws oh sorry youtube bleep it out tiffy just called me and he is here now planting cotton so we've got some of our pop-up nozzles we think aren't putting out so we're gonna check them out make sure hopefully they're all putting out and then he's gonna strike out planting that's what we want to see coming out hopefully you got your switch on that's going those are good that's good that's good good that one's not good all right just this one right here lift her up not bad so out of 24 nozzles only one will stop though we're going try her again check our seed death while we're waiting so you put cotton just barely in the dirt especially under pivot you can get it up you'd rather be too shallow than too deep any day good oh yeah there he goes look at all the cucumbers still on the ground that's a perfectly good cucumber well that was an easy fix starting to cloud up it feels great out here and one of the challenges of being a farmer especially in florida where the weather every afternoon you're dodging a rain shower is the decision should i spray or should i wait because a lot of the chemicals you know you want at least you know say two to four hours dry time for it to set before it rains and then a lot of times when you decide no i'm not going to spray it doesn't rain so that just kind of puts you further behind so today we're risking it jeff called me i want to know spray i said you know what let's roll the dice let's just spray it and hope for the best because a lot of your chemicals you want to get watered in the dirt anyway like you know cadre or dual or even extended max is best to be watered in so we'll see well look who it is my old cousin jordan i was just talking about uh how a difficult decision it is to spray or not to spray in the afternoons because you've got a good chance of a rain shower every afternoon oh yeah like today we're risking it and we're saying you know what we're just going to spray yeah but there's a good chance that everything's going to get washed away that's that's all farming that's part of it i like that hat what is that duck's unlimited okay i like that mustache too can i get it on film yes that's nice i'm back in the tractor we're getting the pivot walking out of the way there's kyle over there dissing around the bottoms keeping my fingers crossed he doesn't get too close and get stuck a little windy walking up now to uh reverse the pivot i got strip tilled up under the pivot so now i just need to walk it out of my way so i can jump over the other side and do that so these two cowbirds are fighting over looks like a dead rabbit or maybe a dead rat let's see if you can eat the whole thing hole oh yeah dead rat well that's going to be it for today got one little spot that's pretty wet still so we're going to let it dry out and then we'll try it tomorrow all right tamara is here back in the strip till stripping right here by the bottom so it's a little sticky right here we definitely will not be going through that and yeah that's uh pretty much all i've been doing this morning is stripping hey there a lot of work getting these shots but the strip till is doing good the dirt is just right on top of the hills it's a little sticky down there in the bottom this is even more sticky but for the most part uh she's doing great [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's gonna be it for the strip till rig doing the last 12 rows now and yeah that's that's it drip chilling's done that's a wrap we are officially done with the strip till so we'll get this cleaned up next week get it all clean grease the strip till up and get her unhooked and then we'll take the tank off and then we got a new hood that we'll put on it because that hood is toast so uh why don't we go check on kefi see what he's up to behind cucumbers um and i'm on the planter should be down with this here just a little bit i've got about uh about 70 acres left that will have all the plant all the cotton planted for 2021 running a tractor with irrigation pivots in the field as you always gotta move them by the way sometimes you can time it just right where you don't have to stop and sometimes you time it wrong and you gotta sit there and wait on it one minute i just want to tell y'all how much we appreciate y'all watching jimbo's channel that little fella she'll puts a lot of hard work into it and he absolutely absolutely loves doing it for y'all anyhow i appreciate all y'all watching and supporting us and commenting on our videos speaking of comment man there ain't no way i can hit everybody but i thought i'd give a few shout outs to the ones i noticed a lot um jimbo didn't tell me to

ride with us and like say we own the last 70 acres of cotton for 2021 um the pivot point it's 140 acre field this pivot point i'm waiting on the move out of the way is is the halfway mark so i just started on the last half which would be the last 70 acres just thought i'd say that and uh thumbs up to everybody and uh y'all hope y'all have a good one i hope y'all enjoy what we do for y'all i know

we've got on our last three on this uh field this be our uh last little bit of cotton to plant for 2021 that's all we got left right there in front of me jimbo wanted me to take y'all on the ride last round yeah that's it that's a wrap 20 21's in the ground [Music] y'all [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey back again this is the end of the video appreciate you guys watching before we go let me play this quick clip of last year of me running my drone in the cucumber picker oh crap i know we got to play that earlier uh i plan to get some footage of like the cucumber shed or pickle shed whatever you want to call it where they process the cucumbers never got around to it but uh hopefully next video or the video after next uh we'll go down the pickle plant and uh get some footage of that so nonetheless i'm here at this pivot about to get it fired up we got some uh younger cot in the last field we planted that we just sprayed so go ahead and get that watered in and over here is our tell you what let's just go take a look at it real quick this is the field that we had the video that's uh farming weeds looking like a wild jungle and it looks a thousand times better until all the volunteer peanuts are dead as a doorknob they got the pigweeds laid them down all the grasses are dead well that's gonna be it guys thanks for watching to the end hope everybody's had a great day
