Blueberry harvest update 2024

summer 2024

[@No1Bigbear]

I'm sure praying for you and your blueberry farm...it may not help right now but it sure can't hurt! Too many small farmers have gone! But if anyone can save your family's legacy...You can!

Kitties with extra toes are Polydactyls. Mr. Orange is definitely one. Some of them have toes that look like thumbs! I love blueberry season. I buy them all the time when the season is here. I love your channel!

[@chadfiebelkorn3799]

Cool man. Keep on keeping on...

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

I HOPE that You will continue with Your Blueberries as other Farms are closing or being Re-Developed into Housing - Blueberry Farms are Vanishing and that is Really ****SAD**** !!!! But Your Bushes are Loaded ! The Cat is soooooo Nice ! Yes Bert - Memories never Die ! I had a nice Tub of Blueberry Yoghurt last Week - soooo Nice ! Your Blackberry Bushes will have a Good Crop this Year ! Love it - Potatoes in a Spa Tub - just Loving it ! Great Video Bert and many Cheers from Australia - how is Your Grandma ?

Great memory share Bert.

garden is looking good i skipped mine this year because i had my right leg amputated above the knee 5 weeks ago out of legs for now waiting for some new ones in a month or so will have to learn to walk allover again at 63

[@ScrapFarm]

My body was paralyzed.... in an automobile accident and spent the latter part of his life completely fighting to move every day... you absolutely just cannot give up you have to get up everyday even if you only have one and get that one strong if you don't it's going to be an extremely hard Road when you do get one that man had a heart attack and 3 days later as soon as they let him out of the hospital he was sliding around on the ground working on a car... it's extremely difficult but you have to move

[@daleh645]

I never knew there more than one kind of blueberry or how much work went into berry farming til I stated watching you…thank you for the education. 🤓 How do you get more blueberry bushes, from cuttings or seed? 🤔 After the harvest maybe make a deal with your neighbor and run an electric fence around the bad field an let the goats eat the grass and trees out or would they damage the bushes too much? 🤔 The chicken idea sounds good too…work smarter not harder. 😎 If you need help, two words, undocumented migrants. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Your orange cat looks like it has more than five toes. 🐈 God bless and prayers for a bountiful harvest! 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@ScrapFarm]

Bushes are started from cuttings primarily... you can buy one two and three year plants.... but 3 years is pretty much guaranteed to survive... the goats will destroy everything... really the end game would be chicken tractors the size of each blueberry row and using each row to produce meet Birds

[@jrand2631]

Thanks for the update on the farming business. I wonder how big is the farm - 40, 50 acres? I can't go do work in my garden as I do not have a garden anymore! lol But I miss it tho, especially my kitchen garden. There's something about growing your own vegetables and fruit that's very satisfying, and you know it hasn't been sprayed with a lot of poisonous s***! lol

[@ScrapFarm]

16 acres we small

[@silverlicious2086]

I remember a farmer near where I grew up. He had some kind of thing out in the fields that made a BOMB noise every 1/2 hour to scare the birds off. I wonder if you had some weather-proof Bluetooth speakers that had recordings of like M-80's blowing up to scare the birds. Or some scarecrows with LED's for eyes flashing. Haha!

[@No1Bigbear]

Can you get seasonal workers still out there? I used to haul portable toilets for Mr.Bob and I had to do extra stuff for the workers but they did work...then or can you get kids in any Ag classes?

[@ScrapFarm]

It's pretty much impossible now with EPA regulations not for my size situation

[@garycloud5705]

Your cat has 6 toes on its paws. The cats like this in the Florida keys are called Hemingway cats.

[@davidcolletti7136]

Always something to do...alot of work just to keep up...But...I bet you wouldn,t trade it for the world... i envy you..!!

[@tnridge]

Love some blueberries

[@silverlicious2086]

That's a heck of a lot of work on that field in back. It's amazing how old some of those patches are. How old can those bushes live? You need more chickens out there on patrol. LoL

[@jerrysadventures8952]

all i see hard work bert but i see money to

[@tomlim4406]

Nice work you don't have to chaser the bird use a laser light from far try it they will fry away.

[@OriginalNethead]

Those cat feet are polydactyl mouse mashers! Just ask the mice. BTW - does anyone other than deer and bears go hunting those berries going back to woods?

[@ScrapFarm]

Birds ... but there's a lot out there and there's also a lot of bugs to eat

[@bigangelman]

If you get some grouse chics in spring you raise them until they have feathers and then let them go they are tic eating machines. Some might survive the winter and reproduce. Could hunt them also.

Why you talking shit to a cat? Hes giving it right back! Mine talk to me too. Sassy lil creatures.

[@daleh645]

Our cat is actually named Sassy. 🤣

[@user-ho2yk9bw3u]

You need to hire some part time people to help with the work that you need to do in the field.👍😎🇺🇸

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

Love the update brother!! Looks like you’ve got more rain coming this upcoming week.. hopefully you can get a lot of that done before hand. I do have 2 questions @Burt .. 1- in your opinion.. is it cheaper to grow your tomatoes, potatoes etc.. or buy them? I hear it both ways. I’m considering a garden next year and truly trust your word.. and the 2nd question- Is scrap up or down right now? I’m the first to say I have zero clue about it.. but I’ve been saving all I can get for almost a year now.. it’s getting time to haul it off but I don’t want to take it unless it’s at least average or above.. I trust you word on that as well.. Lastly, looks like those cheap golf cart batteries are doing pretty good still?? Stay blessed up there brother!!

[@ScrapFarm]

Scrap prices are pretty good.... I don't know I mean if you got a giant family or a lot of people that you can give the stuff away to it's worth growing before the amount of work if you're only worried about yourself it's not really worth it in my opinion unless you just want to say that you grew it yourself they definitely do taste better

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

@@ScrapFarm good deal on the scrap.. we’re supposed to have several days of rain this week.. I will try and get this mess cleaned out.. and for the garden, it would just be for me and her for the most part.. and I DEFINITELY agree it tastes better.. I’m truly thinking hard about it.. the way things are going, we ALL may need to think hard about growing our own stuff. It’s only gonna get worse I’m afraid. I had 23+ years in law enforcement, plus 8 years army and I never imagined we’d be In the shape we’re in as a country. It’s so sad. But, we still got to roll with the punches no matter what. Thanks for your input brother. I greatly appreciate it!! Stay blessed!!

[@ScrapFarm]

@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354 good if your canning

[@christylou28]

Hi Bert, curious to know how long it takes for blueberries to establish, like if you were to replant some rows from scratch with new plants how long before you can harvest them? cheers

[@ScrapFarm]

4 to 7 years

[@charlieclose6143]

Does the cat have "extra" toes?

[@ScrapFarm]

Yes

Hey, do you know what happened to Blue Bus Dave? I hate to bother you but in one of his videos from a couple years ago he mentioned your channel so I was curious if you knew. Thank you and great channel btw!

[@ScrapFarm]

Well some people are on the internet for fun. Some are on there as means to an end. And some are trapped 😕 I guess he got what he wanted out of it... He is well I seen him yesterday at the fleamarket

[@cookietruee1791]

Thank you so much for replying! My Papaw watches him and has been aggravating me on trying to find out what happened to him lol but I'll relay the msg and again, thank you. Love your videos btw and Papaw has started watching you as well and really likes your content. 😊

Amazing farm burt... fill those empty rows. Don't be suprised the cost of berries sky rocket one day.

[@ScrapFarm]

I have in years past but ever since covid I just pulled back.... last time I checked a 3-year plant was 14.00.... I'm probably missing over a thousand plants....😬... and all the roofs leak...
