Hi Mark, I've been hearing about farmers struggling to get their crops planted. In addition to the poor weather, don't you think poor soil management is also to blame? If these struggling farmlands were able to infiltrate more water, more quickly through zero till, and covers, I don't think they'd be having such a hard time. I saw a video on Gabe Brown's property where he was able to infiltrate something like 18" in 24 hours. Your thoughts?
Hi mark. We’re having poor weather here in Ireland too. Heavy rain, floods, cool. No hail….. yet.
During a mid May road trip to Iowa from southwest Indiana we saw no fields that were planted but were looking soggy with lots of areas covered with water. Sad to see! Normally we see fields plowed and planted with corn near this time. I hope this situation will improve for all of our nation's farmers! I want to thank u for all your videos and the thoughtful time you spend to create them! It is greatly appreciated. Prayers for you, your family, and fellow farmers!!!
Hi Mark, unbelievable, weather this spring my little crop of Chineese cabbage was a total failure. Usually I've raised loads, not this year. 1/2 my garlic is trashed, I'm planning on not planting any fall crops this fall, spring has been a complete loss. Praying for better weather for next year. God bless.
I live on the east coast of Canada and we are getting cold wet weather too. However we have been getting this weather for the last few years. The new normal?
Sorry to hear about your weather Mark. Rain is bad enough but Hail can destroy crops, trees, and everything in between.
Living in the Boston area I've lost 3 healthy plum trees this Spring..I believe they drowned from too much rain last fall ground was saturated. The mild winter gave us more rain instead of snow. I hope things get better for you Mark !
Stay safe man!!!!
Mark, the hail storms and other extreme weather events are caused by Global Warming. France has declared a national emergency because of the huge hail storms that recently destroyed a large agricultural region.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/16/france-to-declare-natural-disaster-after-storms-rip-through-crops
That tail your talking about the storm picking up clouds is the front flank draft.
From a person that's not even it farmer and a Hispanic living in California who enjoys your videos I wish you and your family best wishes and safety.
hope you are well
Very similar weather here in SE PA. I've been fortunate to only have gotten one short burst of hail, but we've been getting hammered with rain and wind all spring.
Stay safe my friend.
Completely understandable on the videos. Sorry about the weather you're dealing with.
Grand solar minimum. It's only going to get worse…
Hang in there.
It has been very wet here in the central Adirondacks also. Nothing but rain on top of rain on top of 140" snow melt. Quite cold also. No dry wells this summer I bet. Not only can't the farmers get into the fields but the loggers can't back into the woods yet either. I hear it said that this much early rain on top of snow melt leaches the nutrients out of the soil so once planting does occur the yield will be down. Interesting. What do you think?
I feel bad for you and your fellow farmers who depend on the weather.
Climate change deniers make me furious. It's not theoretical and it's not only settings future generations up for hardships. It is having impact on people's lives today.
I'm an atheist so I can't even pray for better times for you and your family. Extremely frustrating times.
Please keep posting! How are the sunflowers doing this year? Stay safe! You are loved by all your subscribers!
All My seeds washed away and tomatoes became sick from wetness. Weeds are proliferating around my peppers. This all sucks but at least I don’t rely on it. Good luck in recovering. I know you and your farm is much more resilient than those farms that can only function under debt. Next year I’m looking to plant skirrets and groundnuts. Skirrets are a wet-loving carrot prized for their sweetness and taste. Groundnuts (aka potato bean) are a legume which produces tubers usually the size of a small potato. My theory is that we domesticated plants that preferred dry conditions as we developed the tillage model. To look for crops that can survive prolonged wetness, I think we must look to societies that didn’t follow the traditional methods of producing food such as Siberia, America, parts of Africa, and south/southeast Asia.
Zone 6b as well.
I understand. I am so sorry.
Prayers for all farmers and gardeners.
The grand solar minimum is causing increasing crop losses each year. It's going to get worse worldwide. Starvation is looming as it occurs in all major cycles of this type
Oh wow. Sorry to hear its been bad weather.
Hi Mark!
I would like to hear your review of "SOLVING Most Difficult Garden Task – How to Start a Kitchen Vegetable Garden for beginners Mulch" trial you did last June. (excelsior mulch)
Were there any problems with residual netting?
Or did it come up in one piece? When?
Pros – Cons – Modifications?
Thank you – KJ
Mark did you hear about the wildfire near Roosevelt Lake, Gila County, Arizona? In that area is Reeves Mountain Farms. Peter “Bigfoot” Busnack grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey. He learned to garden from his father. So far his farm, except for some minimal damage, has been spared by the fire. It is 34% contained. If you have the time Google his farm, very interesting life journey for him. Thank you for all of your videos, so well done.
So sorry you are having bad weather Mark. We had a week of rain and dark clouds all the slugs came out. We have been promised warmer brighter weather next week. I am still planting out my seedlings.
The broad beans I have planted amongst alpine strawberry on woodchip is doing very well with no weeds. (One of the tips I borrowed from you.)
Hi Mark, I have a farmers market that shells their own beans/peas and has sacks full of purple pea hulls, and all the summer beans. What do you think of using them as a "Mulch". I'm hurting its 121 heat index and I have bare soil. Your thoughts whether you heard of any negatives.
Sorry to hear about your situation. It’s been super wet in our area too. A lot of fields not planted, which means the cost of food is probably going to go up.
So sorry you are experiencing such weather…Thanks for the update. Check out this guy…Adapt2030
Oh gosh how awful – I thought the weather had been bleak this summer, just from watching youTube videos of others doing what they normally do, but being constantly interrupted by storms and wild weather. This is no fun at all for farmers or growers, my heart goes out to you – and then the consumer will be crying when later in the year the crops aren't there on the shelves or are very expensive. I've just subscribed to your channel as I'm always trying to learn new ways of producing plants and veggies, even thou' I'm not Stateside any longer, and I was interested to see your take on upright gardening (raised beds). Stay safe and I hope this storm wasn't so brutal…
Sorry about your troubles
