THE SIDE OF FAMILY FARMS YOU DONT SEE

[@beanalupines5101]

You 3 Ochs brothers are the Trifecta of farming. You're all good at everything but to me it seems that Matthew is the brains, keeping stats etc., Daniel is the hands, can fix anything and Andrew is the heart that sees a bright side to it all. Together you create a perfect balance. Your mom and dad did well! Thank you for taking us all along.

[@thekingtroll2]

HAHA, Grandpa got the only veggie knife? Tell him I sent him a box from Amazon that is supposed to arrive Monday and it has three more Fiskar knives in it to use. I love this channel and tried to think of something useful. Dan from Ohio. He can now delegate! One for Matt, one for Andrew, one for Daniel. "Get cutting boys"!

[@AhTechus]

This channel has many useful and valuable videos, it's awesome

[@doglady174]

Years ago an old farmers wife taught me a trick I use with corn. Put a bunch unshucked right out of the field into a brown paper bag and put them in the freezer. Then in the dead of wnter you can shuck them and put them in boiling water and have corn on the cob in February. I rarely manage to make it til February. LOL

[@timothykrott7248]

Be down to see ya probably Tues, I stopped at your market last year, met Grammy, Rhonda, Aunt Becky and Joel and Brian. Still haven't met any of you boys. We live 4 hours North West of ya in McKean County. By far my favorite you tube channel. Wife has a conference this time every year in the Poconos, so I get to stop by and also hook up with my college roommate in Shickshinny. You guys have an amazing family....

[@terrypauloregon]

We stopped last year too.

[@lorrainerangi6920]

Hi Andrew,and whanau. I've been following your channel for quite some time now. You guys are so amazing. Your vegetables looking so gorgeous every year. The hard work and dedication you boys put in, and facing all the challenges that comes with the job,it's just phenomenal. The girls and granny also do their jobs. I'm from Zew Zealand, Auckland. My name Lorraine Rangi.

[@Mapleranch]

Petey is so sweet. When he's not working at his place, he's helping the veggie boys or joel 😊

[@JJR-373]

I love that all the farms look out for each other. It must be a wonderful community that you live and work in.

[@marshamercer876]

Glad to see Petee again. He is such a nice young man.

[@sp9600]

Callie just keeps getting sweeter❣️She’s a little FFA for sure!

[@javakitty5210]

Callie is really a farm girl. I love to see her eating the veggies in the field. So many kids don't get that experience and hate their veggies. I see the Ochs farm being run by Callie in the future. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed watching your hay bailing process. Keep it up, boys!

[@jamesdeblois878]

Perfect cure for sweet corn addiction . Have someone shoot bails of hay at you. Love watching all the stuff you do on the farm .

[@bethgoellner6470]

Another wonderful video. Andrew your glass is always full. You are always so positive! Thanks for sharing life on the farm.

[@lorrainegrobler340]

So glad you could film some of the wheat harvest! I enjoy watching that very much! Thanks

[@kathiewhitley9262]

Loved when you would put all of the baskets of veggies in the bed of the truck.

[@staceypiper3319]

Look at those slick camera moves! You’ve come a long way Mr. Andrew. Such great tips on picking. Thanks for all the knowledge

[@beekind6267]

Please don't forget to thumbs up the video! 👍🏽

[@theveggieboys]

You're the best!

[@beekind6267]

@@theveggieboys no, you guys and girls are the best! 😁

[@raymondcaylor6292]

Born in 1949 I remember the first harvest with a kicker. It was 2 huge alfalfa fields beside a river. Yes, it was easier on my muscles but that dust got me good. I was down for a week and a half and it was tough on me. I was 10 maybe 12 and I still remember my body struggling to spit it all back out. My Papaw just burned the extra fuel by not making us stack the wagon ( in the alfalfa hay ). We just waited at the barn for him to bring the wagon ( one 1953 Super C tractor farm ).

[@anitaalexander9894]

how about a show on what needs to be refrigerate and what doesn't and how long it last

[@JohnDeWeese-lq4pf]

Petey! Back helpin' in the videos! Enjoy the farm life. God Bless!

[@jjo5375]

The family is so very busy! I was hoping nobody got hit with a bale by accident...and that a foot-ball style helmet would be a valuable thing to be wearing under such circumstances. May God protect all of you!

[@lindam_in_michigan3703]

I'm so glad your Dad was able to harvest the wheat. He's like a little kid driving that combine. Also, a couple of times, I think Daniel was aiming those bales at you, Andrew! You always have to watch out for the quiet ones. Thanks for the great video with a Joel and Petey cameo.

[@michaelswann514]

Nice haircut Andrew😊

[@theveggieboys]

Thanks! 😃

[@AZJH8374]

ti... how fun. Mom grew up in PA. moved to AZ for grandmas RA. AWESOME place for me to grow up. I love AZ. But mom knows exactly where the Veggie boys are. Love & prayers for ALL. God bless. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻

[@mkoepp1000]

the barn has a LOT of loose straw on the floor of the loft. couldn't you use all that? for the stalls or something? have seen every one of your vids. love them. i remember when callie was sooo tiny and you'd be walking around holding her against your shoulder. she was so small, you only needed one hand, and she made that one hand look so big. how fast they grow. keep up the good work and thanks for letting us get to know your great family.

[@thelioness3305]

It tickles me to see your love for the farm AND work. It is amazing all you do as a family. THANK YOU for sharing with us. Many of us wish we could do that.

[@lucydiazcolon734]

You guys are so awesome. All related and helping each other out. Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to see Grammy baking in the fall.

[@shodson314]

You are a trooper! In my opinion, you generally get the least fun jobs…but you’re always happy so hats 🎩 🧢 off to you

[@keithfrazier2558]

Those bails come out of there pretty quick. It's like playing dodgeball as a kid.

[@susandreiling6765]

Thank you for sharing those tid bits. I’ve learned a lot. The one you dad said about how to keep cucumbers linger. Perfect! It works!

[@lisalee9182]

I think everybody needs to have at least one day of hauling hay in the small bales like y’all are doing in that heat. Good job everybody

[@joanneganon7157]

Hello Veggie People 👋, that's what was missing, the squeaky sound of pickin' Corn! Petey, what's up😊. Ol Pop Pop looks great up in his big harvester🎉. Whoo Hoo Wheat is done! JO JO IN VT 💞

[@cassiebanks]

I was eating beef stroganoff for dinner when you signed off. It gave me a chuckle. I LOVE harvest time! There are so many cool things going on and you really get to understand just how much machinery farming requires; even more so the need to be a mechanic on the fly. Loved seeing the bales getting tossed by the machine right up to where you were sitting/standing almost as much as I love watching the cabbages being tossed. There's just something beautifully artistic about a cabbage flying across the field. Love watching you guys pick up speed now that there is more sweet corn to pick and less that has to be left to finish growing. Still love the girls with Callie in the opening. It's a great pick-me-up going into the evening. Thanks for all the wonderful video coverage! 😊

[@carolynrandle5454]

She is learning so much.

[@lauraansara5066]

Wow those cabbage are gorgeous!!❤❤❤

[@theveggieboys]

Right?!

[@timwilliams849]

You guys are living the dream

[@susiestah]

We're watching a previous video couple minutes ago, I had what I think was a light bulb moment. I think you said that they are called Cole crops? Is that like when we make coleslaw

[@jdyck8085]

Looking forward to when you start harvesting, tomatoes, and peppers, my favourite to watch you harvest😃

[@susanolds4127]

We need to see more flying bales 😂😂😂

[@marthab255]

Looks like Matt is working more in the fields this summer.

[@sandrarhea2328]

It's beautiful to see the wagons full of hay. You all work hard but I know you enjoy seeing your accomplishments! Great job guys!

[@michelleblandine]

I love harvest time💃💃💃 congratulations on the new tractor Pete❤ so good to see Grandpa, how is Uncle Trey doing? still praying for him ❤

[@joefraga7377]

That square bailer was wild.

[@laurenf1966]

Thank you hardworking veggie boys and girls

[@mandyshaw4097]

GOD BLESS THE FARMERS.🙏

[@nealladuke8518]

I never picked the amount of cabbage that you Veggies do but I was taught to grab the head with both hands,twist and push down at the same time. No Knife required.

[@michellepollino4986]

Beautiful harvest. The hay looks great.

[@lindawoody8501]

Nice wheat harvest! So great to see how these enormous farm machines work. I grew up in Los Angeles so no farm for me. Glad to virtually see how farms grow and all the various work you all do! Kudos to Bryan for his management and for all who work in the store, kitchen, and on the farm and in the greenhouse.

[@beckyp9700]

Great video! I get so inspired to cook veggies for dinner after watching all of you harvesting produce. I think zucchini and rice and broccoli are in order for dinner. Thank you for sharing your world. See you in the next one.

[@davidschwarz169]

watching you guys pick veges reminds me of when i was a kid picking at my uncles garden so much fun and great memories keep on pickin

[@EmerickKing-j4o]

Wow your garden is going to be good this year. Take care. ❤

[@johnsandell4501]

Hard hot working day. Great that you have a very large straw order👍👍👍

[@inout3436]

Could you go over the grain harvester and what you do with all the wheat?

[@ericaclark7250]

Maybe if you get a couple of those air puppet things to put in the field it will scare the birds. They are tall and jump around, don't know if they are run on electric or not. Just an idea. Love watching the combine working

[@munchkin5674]

When you grew up in a very rural area and were around stuff like this, watching these videos brings you back home and makes you feel so good. I miss stuff like this a lot! Thank you so much for these amazing videos! You all are like family to me. : ) Curious… If some of the straw would have gotten pretty wet from rain, can you keep turning it to dry it out enough to still bale?

[@pamvizina8668]

I love that square baler, like if you weren't paying attention it would whack you one! 😂

[@Jane-k5d]

You can so tell you are cousins, you look somewhat alike. Great video, I love watching you get the corn picked..

[@Redmapleleaf113]

I was prepared to watch your video today! No more drooling looking at your corn. Made sure to have some to nibble on while I was watching you work! Pitching square straw bales is A LOT better than pitching hay bales! Light as a feather although I don't know how you can do it without gloves on. My hands seem to fill up with straw slivers without.

[@brendaallen3233]

Callie is so adorable what a beauty

[@emilasmith4279]

Wow the labor intensive part of farming! Making straw. Whew. So glad you guys avoid sunburns. If I’m out more than 5 min I look like a lobster. Massive burns that put me out of commission for a solid week. Whew! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@alisonshanahan1237]

My husband is the same!

[@jasonriley4432]

Yay! Petey's back!

[@gracetamez-q3e]

I want to know if you all ever thought of selling your plants online? Great work! God has blessed your farm. 😄

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Getting in to the harvesting.

[@christhurman8651]

Thx for all the picking lessons

[@pintak1384]

I am always looking forward to watch your videos! Enjoy every minute! Thank you for sharing.

[@danrussell9207]

man that bail slinger is nice sure wish I would of had that when bailed hay every summer 20 plus years ago!

[@loadontime2956]

Hey Andrew, there is something else growing on the farm that we have been missing! THE BABIES! This mom of two loves to see Callie and the babies and of course Lauren.

Yeah Petey's here!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone & family from New Holland Pa.

[@rogerpultz5597]

Awesome video 👍👍

[@katiebarnes2232]

😂😂 watching you pick that corn…I freaked for a second thinking ‘is there going to be an a skinny grey leg going to come through that row of corn’ ahhhh! Signs! You ever freak out like that???

[@jetman258]

Yes you are so right,, seeing the big machines harvesting wheat and bailing it. Wow so nice. Change your style of hat so the sun stays off your neck.

[@tommathews3964]

Like most jobs on the farm, baling and stacking hay can be really satisfying! Ok, truthfully, I don’t miss stacking wagons at all!

[@kellyschroeder7437]

Love the lessons !!!!

Wow, this video was an 'as usual' = super informative! Thank You Very Much !!!

[@rodgerhowell5975]

I've been watching you for a long time, you have a wonderful family working together which is good to see. I will say one thing I was kind of surprised to hear you say. When Petey is over and it seems he is working hard helping you say you don't pay him. Why not? I know he enjoys driving tractors, etc, but if he does the work like you do why won't you pay him a little money like everyone else who works.

[@sobarber]

When do we get to see Pete's new tractor?

[@teresaedwards3659]

I'm happy you're. happy!

[@lynnwilliams7389]

One of my favorite summer time meals is sweet corn and BLT sandwiches.

[@CandanceMcleod-jm7nq]

That's true, but how do you tell the difference from sweet corn to regular corn and all of them look the same to me. Love, what you guys do is so cool.

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

[@dianewhite8950]

God bless you all Veggie "Men"

[@Rosiewangui]

Watching from kenya. Lovely as always

[@peggymurray7627]

The baler shooting the straw bales out is no joke!

[@WeBeGood06]

For some reason, not sure why, I want to soup up the Tractor and Baler making the Square Bales fly faster, longer, higher with some spin on them to stack themselves in the wagon.

[@kellyschroeder7437]

My question is. Do you have people peeling it while picking it to purchase ?? Thank you for the education on picking corn - dry silk and round top/no gaps 💙👊 🌽

[@Chris-jh3tg]

'Bout time you got a haircut. 😁😁 On my corn, having grown it for the last 30 years, you just kind of know. If it looks like a football, it's ready. if I'm in doubt, I pinch the top of the ear and if I feel a kernel pop, it's ready. Wheat is cut! 10:33
