That's alot of strawberries! It looks soo good! Good job you motivated me to start doing more!.

[@farmerdre1]

Thanks man!

[@Leavemealone57]

Dang how old are you? You guys are amazing! The world needs more men like you all.

[@philriehm9479]

Also you can have 1 or 2 people walking behind to get the ones you can't get at that speed. Bed prep looks great!

Those drone shots are awesome 👌

[@farmerdre1]

Thanks!

[@brentasher8148]

It reminds me of planting tobacco. It’s hard work…but it’s honest work. Good stuff.

[@VargasEntrepreneur06]

U probably don't know but u inspired me

Thanks!! I really appreciate you watching!

I worked strawberries for 20 years in Australia, picked, packed and planted 250,000 a year....i loved it especially picking. Paid piece rate, very good money

[@kimberlyr2895]

Very impressive.

Hi, I am from India. Your videos are inspiring. Keep going 👍

Chop chop...asset utilization. Turn the lights on and eat your Wheaties. How are the Blackberries doing? The old canes removed and laterals pruned? Man farming is a lot of work!

[@farmerdre1]

The blackberries are doing great! We removed all the only canes and are now training them on the RCA trellis

Dre, You will be better off with a tractor that has a creeper gear rather than a hydro in my opinion. We have tried both and the creeper works better for us. We have a 1600 series II Rain-flow and we pull it with a New Holland Workmaster 120. You can get them with the creeper gear. If your are interested in new tractor, you should check them out. They also have a 95 and 105 model.

[@farmerdre1]

The funny thing is I was just looking for a tractor 😂 I'll look into in. Thanks

[@farmerdre1]

How much clearance underneath does it have? I need a tractor to spray with. I need at least 15-20 inches

[@FF-lx9pr]

@@farmerdre1 I have never measure it. I will tomorrow and get back with you.

[@nathanromain8821]

🇺🇸 Good video 💪🏼

[@farmerdre1]

Thanks for Watching

[@NashvilleMonkey1000]

We saw the tractor with the strawberry spot maker in the last video, "hand planting", still a lovely sight to see all those strawberries go into the ground~

[@farmerdre1]

Thanks for Watching

[@philriehm9479]

Plant ever other one or whatever you need to keep the tractor going. Then tie the water wheels up and come back on the same bed and get the ones you missed to be more efficient and save on your clutch. The is what we did before we got a hydrostatic tractor

[@jeffgreen977]

Great idea! I am 67 years old and just bought a water wheel Transplanter. These videos are very helpful!!

[@moiselupescu108]

Hey That was me haha.

[@sennapunjabi1504]

Bro thanks so much for this information very grateful

[@SuperStruct]

I wonder if you could mount a screen that connects to the camera so he can see how fast to drive

[@Insideorganics]

Dale muchachos 🤣 You're not moving fast enough lol

[@foodruraltv]

Amazing video, like

[@farmerdre1]

Thanks!

[@calebdwiggins7421]

How often do are you going back through the field to trim runners?

[@farmerdre1]

All depends on the growth of the plant. If you have lots of runners the plant is happy and you need to take them off. We take them off 2 times in the fall. In the spring we dont even touch them!

[@kennethwaldner4101]

So you always remove the runners?? I planted my 1500 plants this spring on the ground.. Not on plastic. I wish I would have seen this video then. Should I remove all the runners? Why is that?

[@evaarnim]

This is wow! Do you replant yearly

[@GraciosaChacaras]

Great job. Do you have the blueprint of the greenhouse? Is it made os steel? Or galvanized pipe?

I have land as well in Missouri trying to get established what kind of berries and where do you get them from as anyone else trying to cut corners and learn from other anything you can help with would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance

[@larrywalters6195]

Farmer Dre, just wondering what you paid a thousand for your Strawberry plants?

[@farmerdre1]

We paid around 27 cents per plant!

[@larrywalters6195]

@@farmerdre1 so about $270.00 a thousand! Sound like a good deal thank.

[@matthewbrown8579]

Wanting to plant an acre for next year what a good source to get plugs from?

[@k8ers86]

Is the water wheel worth it? Or would you think it depends on the soil? We were planning to burn holes on our strawberry farm on Wi. But we dont have a water wheel. It will be our first year starting in 2021.

[@sfostere1]

I have found ours very helpful

[@farmerdre1]

It depends how many your planting, if you plant more than 5 or 6 thousand then I would highly recommend getting one. With the traaplanter we planted 1000 plants in 40 mins! That's 2 seconds per plant! Dosent get easier than that!

[@k8ers86]

@@farmerdre1 thanks! We are starting with about a 1/4 of an acre. Might have to look into it for future expansion. My kids love you too. They always saying "Faramer Dre back at ya."

[@tapsfordays5548]

Farmer Dre trying not to hate but you guys are a little slow we have the same machine but with a little older tractor me and my brothers were able to do 1000 feet rows in 15 mins but you’re new to this it will get easier and better over time

Mate thats alot of strawberries, you gone need like 10-15 people at least to pick this amount of strawberries, daily

How much do you buy each seedling for?

hi, from your experience, how many acres of land does it take to support a family? 5 people, enough to live on

[@lamiuks]

Hey, where i could check of buy such seeding platform for tractor?

[@ابنآدم-ز2ف]

instead of the two of you guys trensplanting, only one could be doing that and the other just getting the plants outta the try and hand them over to the transplanter, that way it goes faster than what I saw n the video.

[@henryruizmeeden]

Man yall are spoiled! We did them all my hand and without a tractor. The tractor is to slow...
