Got the hayracks put together and ready for our onion harvest. We pull them, let them lay a day or two in the field, then load them on the wagons, back them in the barn and let them do a slow cure. I have a couple more racks besides these, and will probably need more. We also sell field run onions right out of the field to eliminate curing and handling costs.
Onions waiting to be pulled. We planted over 10,000 (by hand). Most are over a lb in size.
We sell our produce roadside at the farm. My wife takes care of the sales and even drives the AC 170D and produce trailer to the corner everyday. I think I have converted her from her JD ways....the 520 just rests in the shed these days....
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day as we are overloaded with green beans. Two fer Tuesday, pick one 5 gallon bucket of beans, pick the second one for free! That should keep her busy LOL!
