Organic Green Bean Harvest

[@jamiecollins1220]

Best farming channel out there hands down! I love all the different things you do.

[@PatrickShivers]

@@jamiecollins1220 thanks for watching & commenting. It’s also the slowest growing and one of the least known farming channels out there. 400+ videos, 4 years, 10k subs. Most of those subs came on board this year.

Hello, Patrick! Quality beats quantity. And smart people appreciate it...

[@RobB-cy5gu]

Great Video Patrick! I love the way you narrate; perfect commentator clear and concise!

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks Rob. Not much of it is planned, just describing what’s happening. Most videos start out at 15-27 minutes and get edited down to 7-12

[@danielsboro]

Great video. No one has the interesting variety of crops that you grow.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Glad you have a good crop after last year! In a few years give that little one a bucket and let him follow the picker. Put his green bean money in an account and he may have a good little chunk of change when he gets older.

[@greenboyatgafarms2250]

I grow the same beans too,can't beat the taste over canned beans. Blue lakes are the best.

[@420growers3]

Ohhhh, I remember doing .5 mph all day cultivating tobacco. Great video. Nice harvest and looking forward to the canning part. We used to grow carrots and peas for the canning industry when they used to be around, we need to go back to that.

[@peanutsmith1462]

I can watch this channel 24/7/365

[@PatrickShivers]

You and a couple 100 others. I don’t know how those other farm channels get 50-200k on every video.

[@fischerthefarmeryt2913]

Great video love seeing how people do other crops then we do

[@gatorguy7711]

Great video! Thanks for all you do in providing quality products to your customers.

[@BamaBoy27]

Great video Pat. Love the green beans we got from you!

[@Turnrow1110]

Another great video keep them coming

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks

[@k.p.1139]

Amen on the taste! I can't stand store bought green beans. 😝😝

[@Jan-Boer]

Nice to see your bean harvest. Finished sowing peanuts yesterday. What I wonder? Do you also have double crops because you have such a long season?

[@PatrickShivers]

I’m going to follow the green beans and potatoes with pumpkins

[@usmarshall336]

Now who makes that attachment to get them green beans out of the ground.. that is awesome that a person come up with that piece of machinery . seems to be working very well

[@PatrickShivers]

It’s an Oxbo BH100. Mine is the original version called a Pixall (later changed to Oxbo) Pull-Pix. It’s older than I am, but still works.

[@colefletcher-ox7xd]

👍

[@jamiecollins1220]

Do you replant the same beans after the first harvest or can you in your area?

[@PatrickShivers]

@@jamiecollins1220 very short and precise window to plant green beans here. Border line to cold when we plant and almost to hot for them when we harvest. In the deep south spring is only 2-3 days. We go straight from 50 degree highs to 85 plus.

[@troynorris-mt2cz]

No sir I ve got 2 one row pickers but I know a guy u can contact in Kansas he has them all over I ll have to get his contact. Have u used one before I have a old Grissom Ryder that I used a few years ago

[@PatrickShivers]

I process peas for a guy that picks with one. I’m not totally sold on the idea, as I can’t get the peas to set a singular crop. Most of my pea harvest is still done by hand. If I could get the peas to set most of their crop in the initial set I believe a Big Jack would be a great investment. The sky is the limit for southern pea sells in my area.

[@tugboat2739]

Howdy Patrick

[@jamesjarratt7907]

Will you plant anything behind the green bean harvest?

[@PatrickShivers]

Yes. Video in a week or 2 about that

[@jamiecollins1220]

Which variety is that?

[@PatrickShivers]

@@jamiecollins1220 I plant Blue Lake round beans and Roma II flat beans

[@mitchhamilton3916]

I need a bh100 bad, do you know of a used one for sale?

[@PatrickShivers]

Sure don’t. I get calls from as far away as Mississippi from folks trying to buy mine

[@donniebargo964]

Your product comb is running wrong direction someone put the gear cog driver in backwards if it was turning right direction direction these beans would be going up belt

[@PatrickShivers]

That’s an illusion. It is running about twice the speed and the opposite direction than what it appears on video. It spins counter clockwise raking across the plants first, then the belt, heading up from the belt towards the center of the machine and then back down towards the plants. If it spun backwards it would throw the green beans away from the belt instead of on the belt. It is the same with many of the farm machinery that I film. When something is spinning at a high rate of speed, on film it appears to be spinning half as fast and in the opposite direction. It doesn’t look that way in person, but it does on film. You can stand beside it filming with cell phone and it looks super fast and correct with your eyes and and slow and backwards on cell phone screen

[@troynorris-mt2cz]

I have a Pixall vibratory sorting table just for snap beans in my shop if interested

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks for thinking of me, but I don’t have any need for one. I dump the bags direct into snapper and then pour the snapped into air separator. Do you have a Big Jack for sale?

[@troynorris-mt2cz]

Did u grow any peas this year?

[@troynorris-mt2cz]

And do u do butter beans

[@PatrickShivers]

@@troynorris-mt2cz yes. There is a video of me planting them as well as another crop update video detailing their progress. I am currently about 1.5 weeks away from pea season

[@PatrickShivers]

@@troynorris-mt2cz i will be harvesting Butterbeans in a couple weeks

[@donniebargo964]

But i will say this i do organic production my self red potatoes and green beans and sweet corn , i agree with you poison on food kills you too, thats wht i do organic
